Update gnome-desktop to 42.9

[Jeremy Bícha]

Impact
------
The only thing this update does is update the GNOME version number shown in the GNOME Settings > About dialog from 42.5 to 42.9

That's desired because we will include GNOME Shell 42.9 and people assume the version shown here is the version of GNOME Shell.

There is a gnome-desktop 42.10 because the final official release of GNOME 42 was 42.10 but GNOME Shell skipped a release earlier so the versions aren't in sync.

This update also cherry-picks one change from 42.10 to update the German translation. Because we use Ubuntu language packs, the new translation won't actually be used until the next language pack update, which is expected shortly before the Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS release.

Test Case
---------
Install the updated packages
Open the Settings app.
Scroll down in the left sidebar and click About
The GNOME Version should be 42.9

What Could Go Wrong
-------------------
Because this is part of core GNOME, it falls under the microrelease exception
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates/GNOME

Other Info
----------
GNOME 43 used GNOME Shell to display the version number so this kind of SRU is no longer needed after Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.

GNOME 45 will simplify the version string to no longer report the minor version number (42 instead of 42.9) because GNOME Shell frequently is not released on exactly the same schedule as the overall GNOME project.
