This should hopefully make the now many options more
understandable.
- Full text layer's text size will now be changed when changing font
size in the text editor window, when no text is selected.

- GIF: new option to specify a number of repeat for animated GIF
(rather than single run vs. infinite loop only).
- help-browser: rewritten to use GtkAction and GtkApplication, even
though it's now a deprecated plug-in (though it's a good example for
porting other plug-ins the same way).
- PNG: the format does not have any flag for linear RGB, but it can
simply include a linear profile (or a 1.0 gAMA chunk). Therefore

gAMA chunk into a profile), we now always load PNG images as
non-linear backend.

- libtiff dependency's minimum required version bumped to 4.0.0.
- gexiv2 dependency's minimum required version bumped to 0.14.0.
- Our meson/Debian CI now runs `meson dist` too.
- gvfs is marked as an expected dependency for GIMP (as a GIO module)
on Linux, since it seems we wouldn't have HTTP support without. This
is only written in the INSTALL file though, no tests are run on
configure time.
- The distribution stage now has a new `dev-docs` job containing both
the C API reference (gi-docgen) and the Python and Javascript (gjs)
ones (g-ir-doc).
- The `pdbgen` (generation of PDB source files) build step is finally
ported to meson too, which is a major step to one day consider this
build system out of the "experimental" zone.
- Windows installer's gettext files (.po) will now also contain
extracted comments from the source to give more context to
translators.
