Rather than using binaries statically in our source tree; this makes
them easier to update. This also makes it so that they are separated
from each other rather than using a patched JB mono as our fallback.
This update also fixes a memory leak that was caused by blocks not being
deallocated and just collecting every single frame, slowly accumulating
memory until OOM.
We need to use this version of z2d so that we can get reproducible PNG
exports in CI for testing, since previously the PNG export was affected
by the CPU arch / features because it depended on vector width.
Fixes#7724
Background at the end of the commit message. The fix in libxev is
described in the PR and commit we pin to here, but basically we swap
read for poll for eventfd/timerfd.

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.
We have always tracked a post-3.4 release, this brings us up to date.
There's no real motivation beyond this other than keeping up to date
since we're already on non-release versions anyways.
Upstream is now mostly pure Zig and the build.zig.zon.* files are
generated directly by zon2nix. The JSON file is no longer used as an
intermediate file but is retained for downstream packager usage.
