Changes in RC1

Features

• feat: add exact search mode #3842: Add exact search mode (@quake)

• feat: Add flatmemory feature for FlatMemory based machine types #3859: Add flatmemory feature for FlatMemory based machine types (@xxuejie)

  This change adds a new flatmemory feature to ckb-script, which will use FlatMemory as the memory type for
  CoreMachine/CoreMachineType. While this is not gonna be used in CKB, a FlatMemory will be quite useful in the development of surrounding tools, including ckb-debugger. Note that one option is that a debugger could maintain its own ckb-script package, but considering the fact that the change here is rather small, I would suggest we include this here feature in CKB.
