This updates our bundled Harfbuzz from 8.4 to 11.0. The changes from 8
to 11 include a number of correctness and performance improvements.
Packaged releases tend to dynamically link so this won't affect
existing users, but build-from-source users hopefully get an
improvement.
Lazy dependencies are only fetched if the build script would actually
reach a usage of that dependency at runtime (when the `lazyDependency`
function is called). This can save a lot of network traffic, disk uage,
and time because we don't have to fetch and build dependencies that we
don't actually need.
Prior to this commit, Ghostty fetched almost everything for all
platforms and configurations all the time. This commit reverses that to
fetching almost nothing until it's actually needed.
There are very little downsides to doing this[1]. One downside is `zig
build --fetch` doesn't fetch lazy dependencies, but we don't rely on
this command for packaging and suggest using our custom shell script
that downloads a cached list of URLs (`build.zig.zon.txt`).
This commit doesn't cover 100% of dependencies, since some provide no
benefit to make lazy while the complexity to make them lazy is higher
(in code style typically).
Conversely, some simple dependencies are marked lazy even if they're
almost always needed if they don't introduce any real complexity to the
code, because there is very little downside to do so.

This adds a new script `update-mirror.sh` which generates the proper
blob format for R2 (or any blob storage) to mirror all of our
dependencies.
It doesn't automate updating build.zig.zon but on an ongoing basis this
should be easy to do manually, and we can strive to automate it in the
future.
I omitted iTerm2 color themes because we auto-update that via CI and
updating all of the machinery to send it to our mirror and so on is a
pain. Additionally, this doesn't mirror transitive dependencies because
Zig doesn't have a way to fetch those from a mirror instead (unless you
pre-generate a full cache like packagers but that's not practical for
day to day development).
It's hugely beneficial just to get most of our dependencies mirrored.
This gets `zig build -Dtarget=aarch64-ios` working. By "working" I mean
it produces an object file without compiler errors. However, the object
file certainly isn't useful since it uses a number of features that will
not work in the iOS sandbox.
This is just an experiment more than anything to see how hard it would be to
get libghostty working within iOS to render a terminal. Note iOS doesn't
support ptys so this wouldn't be a true on-device terminal. The
challenge right now is to just get a terminal rendering (not usable).
