Impact
------
We need to update gtk3 before updating mutter to 42.1. Otherwise, in gtk3 apps like gedit, it's not possible to scroll past the cursor position.

The mutter issue with more details is
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/2261

We need to update mutter 42.1 since it includes a lot of bug fixes.

GNOME Shell 42.1 (with the corresponding changes to mutter, gtk3 and gtk4) will better comply with the Wayland specifications.

The gtk4 bug is LP: #

Test Case
---------
Install the updated gtk3 packages.
Use gedit to open a long text file.
Scroll down past the page break.
The document should scroll normally.

What Could Go Wrong
-------------------
Ideally, GNOME would have done a new GTK3 release for this issue. They will eventually, but it seems better for Ubuntu to be proactive and not further delay the mutter/gnome-shell 42.1 releases.

These commits are cherry-picks from the stable branch
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/commits/gtk-3-24/

NOTE
----
To avoid a temporary mismatch related to phased updates, we want this update to be 100% phased before releasing mutter 42.1 to jammy-updates.
