sterni 1d36c544be libcmd: add support for lowdown >= 3.0.0
lowdown 3.0.0 merged some flags into one to save on bits and did not add
any aliases for backward compatibility.

As with the changes for lowdown >= 1.4, we define a preprocessor flag to
gate the changes on and add a job to CI to ensure that lowdown < 3.0
keeps working (which is used by NixOS 25.11).

The channel version this Lix branch uses doesn't have bmake with support
for all tested platforms, so we can't properly build lowdown 3.0 (which
depends on it) for tests in CI. Given this is a relatively simple
backport tested on other Lix branches, it's probably fine.
