+Deprecate `BCH_2022_05` VM, add `BCH_2023_05`, `BCH_2025_05`, and `BCH_SPEC` VMs, update vmb_tests
+
+Additionally, all exports have been renamed to more consistently adhere to the `camelCase` capitalization style, without exceptions for abbreviations. For example `assembleBytecodeBCH` is now `assembleBytecodeBch`. To ensure backwards-compatibility, aliases (marked with `@deprecated` TSdoc tags) are also exported using the old capitalization. These aliases will be removed in a future major version.

+
+- Revised `AuthenticationVirtualMachine` to remove `clone` (obviated by wide availability of `structuredClone`) and add `initialize`, allowing VM proposals to add to the program state of an existing VM (in a type-safe way) without duplicating its unchanged logic.
+- Clarified documentation around contributing upgrade proposals to Libauth VMs
+- Allow usage of any `BCH_SPEC` opcodes in `assembleBytecodeBch`/`disassembleBytecodeBch`
