Test release: 5.9.0.3-test

Hello,

I've tagged 5.9.0.3-test (test release for the upcoming zsh 5.10)
and uploaded the artifacts to:

  https://sourceforge.net/projects/zsh/files/zsh-test/5.9.0.3-test/


If you have the time, please test and report any issues found.

In addition to the notes quoted below, there has been changes around
the nameref feature since then that could use additional testing.
