The `%E` modifier causes dates to be formatted using an alternative era
representation for years. This doesn’t do anything for most dates, but
in locales such as Thai and Japanese it causes years to be printed using
era names.
In Thai, this means the Thai solar calendar
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thai_solar_calendar). In Japanese, this
means Japanese era names
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_era_name).
The `%E` modifier syntax follows what’s supported in glibc — see
nl_langinfo(3).
Supporting this is quite involved, as it means loading the `ERA`
description from libc and parsing it.
Unit tests are included.

Fixes: #3119
And update all the CI builds to use the latest micro release from that
series, 1.2.3.
This version bump means we can:
- Drop some backwards-compatibility Meson checks
- Fix a periodic CI failure caused by a now-fixed Meson bug
(https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/pull/10633)
It’s in line with our [Meson version policy](./docs/meson-version.md),
as Meson 1.2.1 is available in
[Debian Trixie](https://packages.debian.org/source/trixie/meson) and the
[freedesktop SDK](c95902f2ed/elements/components/meson.bst).

That means Debian Bookworm and Fedora 37.
Also rework the mingw Dockerfile to be based on the Fedora one, so that
the underlying layers can be shared. This should reduce the disk
consumption of the registry a little.
`.gitlab-ci.yml` has not been updated to use the new images in this
commit, as the images will be modified further in the following commit.

This reverts commit 91f14cd058.
The freedesktop SDK, which is used by gnome-build-meta, only has Meson
0.63. Bumping GLib’s Meson dependency to 0.64 means that, at the moment,
GLib is not buildable in gnome-build-meta and hence can’t be tested in
nightly pipelines against other projects, etc.
That’s bad for testing GLib.
It’s arguably bad that we’re restricted to using an older version of
Meson than shipped by Debian Testing, but that’s a separate discussion
to be had.
Revert the Meson 0.64 dependency until the freedesktop SDK ships Meson ≥
0.64. This also means reverting the simplifications to use of
`gnome.mkenum_simple()`.

This is in preparation for porting `GRegex` to libpcre2, which is
happening in !2529. It’s a big port, though, and specially rebuilding
the CI images to add libpcre2 for it is a pain.
Add libpcre2, and then !2529 can drop the old libpcre dependencies when
the port lands.

This is what’s available in the new Debian Stable, so we can expect it
to be available pretty much everywhere.
Subsequent commits will clean up old workarounds.

Fedora 29 is no longer available, and I need to rebuild these images so
libpcre is pre-downloaded as a subproject.
Update them to Fedora 31, which is what we use in `fedora.Dockerfile`.
This should allow some blobs to be shared in the container repository.
This isn’t the latest Fedora release, but I don’t want to go through the
hassle of updating all the CI images to F33 right now in addition to
updating the subproject caches.
`python-unversioned-command` is needed because the Android NDK calls
`python` without a version number. F29 must have installed this already.
The Android NDK setup appears to be OK with Python 3.

The Fedora image we use contains MinGW bits that ought to go into
their own Docker container. This avoids having a massive Docker image
that gloms everything and is harder to update.
While we're splitting off, we can also update to Fedora 29, as we can
rely on Fedora packagers doing their job and ensuring that the MinGW
cross-compilation toolchain still works.
