Glad to announce the 3rd beta for LDC 1.40. Major changes:

* Based on D ~2.110.0 (yesterday's upstream stable).
* LLVM for prebuilt packages bumped to v18.1.8 (incl. macOS 
arm64).
* Android: NDK for prebuilt package bumped from r26d to r27.
* Mainly for **distro package maintainers**: Use system zlib 
instead of Phobos' vendored version through CMake 
`-DPHOBOS_SYSTEM_ZLIB=ON`. Thanks Andrei!
* Edge-case fixes regarding IR struct layouts and link-time 
culling (for ELF targets).
