* fix CI error

* fixes #20426; remove `maincommand` and `m` options since they are a noop since 2014 and causes confusion

fixes #20426

7f7b13a45f (diff-d949f8c356fd2dc9ceedc6f3dbbd01e2c806269dd0a8ad6516facf589fa2c99a) makes it a no op, but it causes a regression because it should add `expectArg(switch, arg, pass, info)` before the discard statement. It causes https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/issues/20426 to happen. Without `expectArg(switch, arg, pass, info)`, `-mm:orc` is wrongly interpreted as `-m` and compiler, which doesn't make sense. It should either abort compilation or prints `argument for command line option expected: '-m'` message. Since they are a no op since 2014, let's remove it to clear the confusion. Let's wait and see whether it breaks something.

* add a changelog

 ## Changes affecting backward compatibility
 
+- `addr` is now available for all addressable locations,
+  `unsafeAddr` is now deprecated and an alias for `addr`.
+
+- `io`, `assertions`, `formatfloat`, and `` dollars.`$` `` for objects are about to move out of the `system` module. You may instead import `std/syncio`, `std/assertions`, `std/formatfloat` and `std/objectdollar`.
+  The `-d:nimPreviewSlimSystem` option makes these imports required.
+
+- The `gc:v2` option is removed.
+
+- The `mainmodule` and `m` options are removed.
+
+- The `threads:on` option is now the default.
 
 - Optional parameters in combination with `: body` syntax (RFC #405) are now opt-in via
   `experimental:flexibleOptionalParams`.
