2.4.4.0-RC2 second release candidate

Changes since RC1:

  - ImageCache/TextureSystem both have added a `getattributetype()`
    method, which retrieves just the type of a named attribute. AcademySoftwareFoundation#3559
    (2.4.4.0)  NOTE: THIS IS AN ABI BREAKING CHANGE
  - Python: Fix the ability to `getattribute()` of int64 and uint64
    metadata or attributes. AcademySoftwareFoundation#3555 (2.4.4.0)
  - Build: Improvements to the generated cmake config files when
    building static libraries. AcademySoftwareFoundation#3552 AcademySoftwareFoundation#3557 (2.4.4.0)
  - Support for gcc 12.1. AcademySoftwareFoundation#3480 (2.4.2.1) AcademySoftwareFoundation#3551 (2.4.4.0)
  - Support building with clang 15.0. AcademySoftwareFoundation#3563 (2.4.4.0)
  - Fix cross-compiling on Android failing due to `-latomic` check. AcademySoftwareFoundation#3560
    (2.4.4.0)
  - Fix building on iOS. AcademySoftwareFoundation#3562 (2.4.4.0)

Note that we bumped the version to from 2.4.3.x 2.4.4.0 to reflect the
ABI break introduced by the last minute by the IC/TS addition of a new
virtual function. ABI will not change again for 2.4.
