Temporarily drops 'cfitsio' which started weeks ago to change its hash.
In my tests, after "fixing" the hash, sometimes it alternates to another,
which breaks the build again. This is too hard to maintain and unsafe(?).

This defaults 'Segoe UI' for Installer texts and for license's body. This
font is still used as the default in Windows 11 and even in online docs.
We are also bumping to 9 pt as outlined in the final Win32 guidelines:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/uxguide/vis-fonts
I've done microscopic pixel checks and confirmed that this produces a Win32
compliant design, which renders kerning and spacing equal as 'Win + R' and
UWP Notepad (please note that some "legacier" Win32 apps renders different)
---
Also, change from Lucida Console to 'Consolas' (default console font since
at least Win8). Today it is Cascadia Mono but not included with Win 10.
This makes the output more complete but at the same time less
polluted regarding the bundling scripts (base, deps and sym).
---
Also, packaging scripts (inno and msix) were touched as consequence
of experiments about drop bundling, for saving space (~20MB), of:
- etc/gtk (MSYS2 don't build immodules)
- share/ghostscript (macOS .dmg don't package it)
- share/libthai (macOS .dmg don't package it)
- share/locale (???, decided to kept only gtk and iso-codes to test)
- share/man (installer don't package it, maybe because Windows can't open)
- share/poppler (macOS .dmg don't package it)
- bin/bzip2.exe (???)
- bin/gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders.exe (loaders.cache already bundled)
- bin/gspawn*.exe. (???)
- share/gir-1.0 (installer don't package it)
- share/lua (???)
- share/vala (installer don't package it)
The "???" ones seems to not be used according to my local tests. If
they are, a bug will appear so we will be able to know, comment in
the script (for maximum clarity towards the future) then revert.
In the process, make the Installer localization process less 'masochist'
(in other words: less manual). The custom '.xml' was the only way since
the iso-codes, Dammed Lies and Inno namings don't match.
This reverts commit 085d8a02b5.
For some reason, Windows doesn't allow us to use that feature
(confirmed this after using the version from the Store itself,
not the .msixbundle)
The installer is probably the most complex packaging format so one of the
biggest examples of packaging love over the years into it in our repo.
But the readability of installer scripts... leave a lot to be desired.
Now, the main script is organized following the order of installer pages
with some comments. This will make easier to future contributors work
(but this commit probably isn't perfect since it's a big change to read)
We have counter measures to avoid installing while gimp opened at 'prep time',
but until now none for the installer itself. Let's fix it with SetupMutex.
The final UX is just less worse (than today): the user needs first to select a
language, then only after this the dialog about two installer will be prompt.
Seems that Inno devs willn't fix: https://github.com/jrsoftware/issrc/pull/461

We use arm64 runners for the installer job to avoid queues, but...
llvm-objcopy is well know to lack parity and one sympthom is the
'invalid SymbolTableIndex' warning when handling x86 debug symbols.
This commit just makes the installer display a (unchecked) checkbox, like Win
pkg manager (WinGet) so it's doesn't change the actual behavior. It also don't
break string freeze since the .isl string already exists and have translations.
The benefit to some users is having one less click to launch GIMP: [checkbox] >
[close]; instead of: [close] > [start menu icon] > [gimp in 'recommendations'].
This style mimics the color scheme used by Win32 applications since Vista (and
still used in Win11). The all grey scheme ended in XP. Let's move on.
But we will keep the actual window size and without being able to resize since
these two Inno features (WizardSizePercent and WizardResizable) are broken.
(The progress bar was changed too to conform with the defaults and uninstaller)
Now, the installer files match the meson config.h naming:
'gimp_version', 'gimp_app_version' and 'gimp_api_version'.
"devel" was replaced by meson 'gimp_unstable' too.
util_version was dropped since it lost its utility.
1) Right now, MS Partner Center doesn't tell us if the .pdb bunbled as .appxsym
are fine and we only have "Unknow" dumps in the Health page from MS Par. Cen.
My theory, according to my tests with 'SymChk', 'PDBCopy' and 'llvm-pdbutil',
is that this is happening because .pdb from clang or gcc are not "perfect", but
I really have no proof to afirm this, since Partner Center tell us nothing
about them, and we don't even know if the .appxsym were uploaded to begin with.
---
2) The compiler can't generate DWARF (.debug*) symbols when generating .pdb,
which breaks debugging in DrMingw and even lldb according to my tests.
(This is not a fault of the .pdb format but a circumstance: our debuggers
only support DWARF, which is the format already used by MSYS2 packages)
---
So, the .pdb will return probably only in the potential vcpkg transition.
Previous changes broken local building courtesy and probably DirectInput too.
Noticed that the universal variables can not work in some contexts, fixed.
Also, done some little cleanups.
This make them easier to understand and to run local, as we do with native ones
(They can't be run local yet, further changes will try to acomplish this a bit)
* Since the appimage is for testing purposes, let's use system 'libc'
* Hardcode python path since the wildcard wasn't expanding misteriously
* Improve system theme recognition making way simpler
Port all plug-ins to retrieve the layers
directly from the image rather than
having them passed in. This resolves some
issues with introspection and sets the
foundation for future API work.
The move to Clang in 85ed2847 didn't take into account caching,
Now, this is fixed or, better saying, reintroduced(?): e545116b
Also, flatpak-builder output was confined to the .log file to make
possible checking the end of the CI output, which was being cut.
The wrapper, like in native artifact, exists just for avoid searching the exe.
But, if the user wanted, wasn't possible to execute gimp-*.exe directly since
the wrapper was needed to generate loaders.cache. Now, loaders.cache are built.
This improves the gimp.cmd wrapper wording a bit to not need the README
anymore. Our dev site was improved some time ago to clarify this:
the Windows builds aren't not incomplete if run correctly (under MSYS2)
Also, add cleanup commands to make the .typelib wizardy less invasive.
Without this, Partner Center refuses the .MSIX by not matching the
entry Identity and DisplayName (which isn't the same as the stable).
Also, rework the naming of the .msix's to be more Microsoft-ish
