setup 2.925 release candidate - please test

[Jon Turney]

A new setup release candidate is available at:

  https://cygwin.com/setup/setup-2.926.x86_64.exe (64 bit version)
  https://cygwin.com/setup/setup-2.926.x86.exe    (32 bit version)

Please test, and report any problems here.

Changes compared to 2.925:

- Add some resilience against transient errors when reading files from 
the local package cache, as can occasionally happen when it resides on a 
network filesystem (thanks to Corinna Vinschen)

- Fix reinstall via command line (thanks to Bill Stewart for helping to 
identify this is a regression in 2.919)
   Addresses: https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2023-March/253352.html

- Translation updates.

- Add a link to translation website on splash page

- Add a tooltip to the additional site textbox and extend '--site' help 
text to indicate that 'site' can also be specified by a path or UNC 
path, as well as a URL.

Each new file named "setup" is considered "dangerous" these days.
