Update gnome-terminal to 3.28 (vte 0.52)

[Egmont Koblinger]

Followup of lp:1721412

18.04 LTS should ship gnome-terminal 3.28, libvte2.91 0.52 (assuming that it ships GNOME 3.28).

This requires updating the PCRE2 patch.

[Egmont Koblinger (egmont-gmail)]

For porting the PCRE2 patches to test releases vte-0.51.3 and gnome-terminal-3.27.4, see the patch and instructions at lp:1721412 comment 9.

Here's an updated patch against current VTE master.

https://git.gnome.org/browse/vte/commit/?id=b274318f2e is a conflicting upstream change. (By the way, I discovered the bug while porting the patch to the previous version.)

The easy way to do the merging was, again, (at least for me), to
- revert the conflicting upstream change
- apply the existing pcre2 patch
- manually re-apply the upstream change
- squash these to a single commit

The attachment "vte post-0.51.3 revert pcre2" seems to be a patch. If it isn't, please remove the "patch" flag from the attachment, remove the "patch" tag, and if you are a member of the ~ubuntu-reviewers, unsubscribe the team.

FYI: Forthcoming gnome-terminal 3.27.90 will no longer have an --enable-distro-packaging config option. Just drop it.

[Egmont Koblinger (egmont-gmail)]

As per bug 1745825, I've dropped the code that decides whether to show/hide the "Use transparency from system theme" checkbox, it is now always shown.

It shouldn't be that hard to bring it back. It'd need to be done manually; methods that received an extra parameter by this part of the patch now take different parameters in upstream, so the patch doesn't apply automatically.

As this part of the code might cause a crash, I'm personally not motivated at all to bring back that crash, I vote for this patch which eliminates it. And as per that bug, bringing back this feature and fixing the bug in the same time is really nontrivial.

This is help up because of glib2.0 autopkgtest issues.

[Egmont Koblinger (egmont-gmail)]

So glib 2.54 -> 2.55 upgrade has problems, and as a consequence, vte upgrade (which requires glib >= 2.40) is held back?? I don't understand it :D Nevermind, I'm sure it'll all be polished out for the final 18.04 + 3.28, so it's okay.
