Now the development and stable logos will be generated from gimp-data.
In other changes, the gi-docgen logo is installed as a symlink using
install_symlink() which exists since meson 0.61.0 so I bumped our meson
dependency (in practice we were already using this function anyway and Debian
bookworm has meson 1.0.1 so it's all good).
Finally I don't install a wilber.png anymore, which was only used by script-fu
testing, and which was the same as gimp-logo.png (except 256x256 instead of
128x128). Unless mistaken, all script-fu tests loading this image still work
with the change. The only one where I needed further change was buffer.scm
(which was checking the dimensions).
See gimp-data@9aa6e35.
AFAIU the issue which it tried to fix only happens on custom builds and it looks
to me that it's just about multi-prefixes developer builds which were not
configured with -Drelocatable-bundle=no as they should.
When you compile GIMP yourself and intend to run it in a multi-prefix
environment, without ever relocating the build, like on Unix-like systems, then
disable this feature.
In any case, we should never do this kind of system file moving hacks in our
build system. The MSYS2 project even had to patch this out:

- Fix "no icons" errors generating loaders.cache with .cmd (CI-Cross).
! This is a sub-optimal fix, but it's better than a useless build.
- Fix "no interpreter" errors generating .interp with Meson (CI-Native)
and generating .interp and copying .typelib with .cmd (Local-Native).
! This is a sub-optimal fix to Local-Native, but plug-ins will work.
- Fix "no iso" error copying iso_639.xml with Meson (Local-Native).
The '\n' newline is transformed into a space (0x20) when building
natively on Windows. And unfortunately g_key_file_load_from_file() does
not like this.
The autotools rule works properly on all platforms according to my
tests.
Note that at first, I thought it was a LF vs. CRLF issue, and tried to
special-case Windows, but I realized it's just that 'echo' command
seemingly transform newlines unexpectedly in its Windows form. I didn't
want to waste too much time experimenting alternative calls, especially
as I have to test through CI (so each test is very costly, time-wise).
Instead I go the alternative way of using a pre-generated conf file.
