testsuite: xfail the tests that 3.4 stable is expected to fail

Rather than removing them, mark the spots where 3.4 lacks the fix/capability as
XFAIL so the tests still run -- and still pass where the fix or kernel primitive
is present:
 - preallocate: --preallocate --sparse leaves the file fully allocated without
   the do_fallocate-length fix (4f5a5857).
 - partial_nowrite: off-root, 3.4 can't write a denied dest temp and doesn't
   retry with chmod (lacks #957); as root it succeeds.
 - chmod-symlink-race: where the kernel has no RESOLVE_BENEATH primitive, 3.4's
   t_chmod_secure helper predates the per-component-fallback expectation
   adjustment and reports it as a failure (no actual escape: sentinel unchanged).

-<h3>Rsync version 3.4.4 released</h3>
-<i class=date>June 8th, 2026</i>
-
-<p>Rsync version 3.4.4 has been released. This is a regression fix
-  release for the issues that have been reported with the 3.4.3
-  security release. Many thanks to everyone who reported the issues
-  (see <a href="https://download.samba.org/pub/rsync/NEWS#3.4.4">NEWS.md</a>
-  for credits).<p>
-    The 3.4.3 release had so many issues for two main reasons:
-    <ul>
-      <li>the 3.4 testsuite did not have broad enough coverage to
-        catch the regressions notices by users
-      <li>the nature of a security release prevents wide beta testing,
-        resulting in not enough manual testing in disparate environments
-    </ul>
-    To fix this for future releases we have greatly expanded the test
-    suite for 3.5 (currently in master) and grown the development
-    team, especially with more people with security expertise.
-    Thanks for your patience!

-    A permission-copy `=` item also clears the special bit for each destination

-    sticky), matching GNU **chmod** behaviour.

-## Differential regression hunting (abdiff.py)
-
-`testsuite/abdiff.py` is a developer tool — **not** a `*_test.py`, so `runtests.py`
-ignores it. It hunts *regressions* by running the **same benign transfer** with
-two rsync binaries (`A` = the build under test, `B` = a baseline) and comparing
-the OUTCOME. The oracle is: for a benign input, a correctness/behaviour change
-between the builds must be **invisible**, so A and B must produce an identical
-result. Any divergence is a regression candidate to investigate and, if real,
-minimize into a `*_test.py`.
-
-It compares exit code, stderr (error markers + normalised text), `--stats`
-"Literal data", the destination tree (content + full metadata: mode/uid/gid/
-mtime/size/symlink target/xattrs/ACLs/hardlink grouping), the `--itemize` list,
-and — with `--cost` — peak process-group RSS (a resource-regression oracle that
-functional comparison misses). A **stability gate** runs each binary several
-times and escalates on a candidate diff; nondeterministic scenarios are
-quarantined `FLAKY`, never reported as regressions.
-
-Run it from the build directory (so `./rsync` and `old_versions/` resolve):
-
-```sh
-testsuite/abdiff.py                       # default: ./rsync vs old_versions/rsync_3.4.1
-testsuite/abdiff.py --sweep all -j5       # broad single pass, 5-way parallel
-testsuite/abdiff.py --loop --timelimit 3600 --cost   # hunt for an hour, resource oracle on
-testsuite/abdiff.py --list --sweep all    # list scenarios without running
-```
-
-Each finding is classed `DIFF` (regression candidate), `ALLOW` (an intentional,
-documented behaviour change listed in the tool's allowlist), `BETTER` (A succeeds
-where B fails), `FLAKY`, or `TIMEOUT`. Findings are printed and appended to a
-per-run `abdiff-log_<TIME>.txt` (and the curated `--findings` log).
-
-Key options: `-j N` parallelism; `--sweep NAME|all`; `--loop` (endless
-random + systematic-combo stream) bounded by `--timelimit SECS`; `--cost`
-(+`--scale N` for the large-tree fixtures); `--repeat N` (stability samples);
-`--rsync-a`/`--rsync-b` the two binaries. Run **as root** to fold in the
-owner/device/specials/fake-super and chroot-daemon sweeps automatically.
-
-Transport lanes (a feature broken only over the wire is invisible to a local
-copy): local, an ssh split (`support/lsh.sh`), a stdio-pipe daemon, a **real TCP
-daemon** (bound port + greeting/handshake, and an auth challenge-response
-variant), and the restricted **rrsync** wrapper (`support/rrsh.sh`). rrsync's
-behaviour ships in the *script*, so pair each binary with its own version's
-rrsync via `--rrsync-a`/`--rrsync-b` (give B's rrsync, e.g. one extracted from
-that release's `support/rrsync`).
-
-Cross-version baselines are the static binaries already in `old_versions/`;
-`old_versions/build_static.sh` builds more from a git tag (and you can grab a
-matching `support/rrsync` from the same tag for the rrsync lane).

-"""Compare the transfer performance of two rsync binaries (local <-> local).
-
-This is a standalone dev tool (run it directly, not via runtests.py) for
-spotting performance regressions between rsync releases.  Given two rsync
-binaries it builds one test tree, then runs the two binaries ALTERNATELY for a
-number of loops, timing each transfer, and reports the mean and standard
-deviation of the transfer time for each binary.
-
-Two transfers are timed each loop (see --mode):
-  * full  -- a fresh copy into an emptied destination (end-to-end read+write).
-  * noop  -- a re-run against an already-synced destination (rsync's own
-             scan / file-list / stat overhead, where many regressions hide).
-
-The first measured run of each binary is dropped (see --warmup) because it
-cold-loads the source into the page cache and is an outlier.
-
-The test tree's shape (heavy-tailed file sizes, a directory spine, symlinks,
-hard links and a spread of permission modes) follows the gentestdata.py
-generator; it is deterministic for a given --seed.
-
-Examples:
-    # Quick smoke run, same binary twice (means should match, no regression).
-    ./perftest.py --files 200 --total-size 5M -n 3 ./rsync ./rsync
-
-    # Compare a released binary against a fresh build over 8 loops.
