FFe: unvendor libspelling from gnome-text-editor

[Jeremy Bícha]

gnome-text-editor switched to using libspelling with their 47 RC release at the beginning of September. libspelling is based on code that was originally written for gnome-text-editor and gnome-builder.

At that point, Ubuntu 24.10 already had gnome-text-editor 47 Beta and it takes time for a package to be promoted to main. Therefore, we vendored libspelling in Ubuntu's gnome-text-editor packaging and began the MIR process.

Since the MIR was approved today, we would like to remove the vendoring and promote libspelling to main. This would simplify our packaging.

If this Feature Freeze Exception is not approved, we will unvendor libspelling for Ubuntu 25.04 instead.

MIR link is LP: #2080062

The diff for this change is approximately the reverse of
