Rancher Desktop 1.6.1

This is the 1.6.1 release of Rancher Desktop, an open source desktop application to bring Kubernetes and container management to Mac, Windows, and Linux.

This patch release fixes 3 regressions in the 1.6.0 release

• On Windows, the host.rancher-desktop.internal and host.docker.internal names did not resolve.

• On macOS, the bridged interface was not being used, even when running with administrative rights, and only port forwarding to localhost was active.

• On macOS and Linux, upgrades from a previous release did not update all files inside the VM. In particular, nerdctl would stay at the previous version (e.g. 0.22.2 in Rancher Desktop 1.5.1) instead of being upgraded to 0.23.0.
