* Prepare release v1.5.53 with critical EventAdapter bug fix

the necessary corrections to the Akka.Hosting configuration handling.

+**Critical Bug Fix**
+
+This release fixes a critical regression introduced in v1.5.51.1 where `IWriteEventAdapter` and `IReadEventAdapter` instances were not being applied when loading events using `BySequenceNr` queries. This caused event tagging and other event adapter functionality to fail in production scenarios.
+
+* **[Fix EventAdapter regression from v1.5.51.1](https://github.com/akkadotnet/Akka.Persistence.Sql/issues/552)** - Event adapters configured via `WithSqlPersistence()` now work correctly when the method is called multiple times (e.g., once for default persistence with adapters, then again for sharding configuration). Fixed by upgrading to Akka.NET v1.5.53 which includes the fix from [Akka.Hosting#669](https://github.com/akkadotnet/Akka.Hosting/pull/669).
