go-ethereum v1.16.9

This is a security hot-fix release. Specifically, this release fixes CVE-2026-26314, CVE-2026-26315.

We recommend recreating your p2p node key after installing this update, which you can do by removing the DATADIR/geth/nodekey file before restarting geth. Note this will cause a change in the p2p node ID, which may break static peering setups.
