Please sync xz-utils 5.6.1-1 (main) from Debian unstable (main)

Hello! I am one of the upstream maintainers for XZ Utils. Version 5.6.1
was recently released and uploaded to Debian as a bugfix only release.
Notably, this fixes a bug that causes Valgrind to issue a warning on
any application dynamically linked with liblzma. This includes a lot of
important applications. This could break build scripts and test
pipelines that expect specific output from Valgrind in order to pass.

Additionally, this fixes a small typo for the man pages translations
for Brazilian Portuguese, German, French, Korean, Romanian, and
Ukrainian, and removes the need for patches applied for version
5.6.0-0.2.

The other bugfixes in this release have no impact on Ubuntu. They
involve building with CMake or when building on a system without
Landlock system calls defined (these are defined in Ubuntu).

Changelog entries since current noble version 5.6.0-0.2:

xz-utils (5.6.1-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Non-maintainer upload.
  * Import 5.6.1 (Closes: #1067708).
  * Takeover maintenance of the package.
