Bug#961841: fontforge FTBFS on 64bit big endian: test failures

It appears that upstream commit was already cherry-picked in https://salsa.debian.org/fonts-team/fontforge/-/commit/ad2b5f648241de5920a6f7f738dea091290a0af0, so all it needs is a release (and ideally a mention to this bug in the changelog next to the "add patches cherry-picked upstream to fix a ran

Bug#961841: fontforge FTBFS on 64bit big endian: test failures

This upstream commit fixes the test failures on s390x: https://github.com/oSoMoN/fontforge/commit/fde85b13382595cb3ab889e38570b4944edad808 . I cherry-picked it and applied it to 1:20190801~dfsg-5 (only the last hunk doesn't apply cleanly, it can be removed), and the build succeeded on amd64, arm64

Bug#942022: librsvg: FTBFS on ppc64el: assertion failed: bounds.x1 >= bounds.x0

Note that ubuntu focal (current development version) has rustc 1.38, and librsvg 2.44.15 fails to build from source with it. The upstream project committed a fix to the 2.44 branch (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/librsvg/commit/de26c4d8), but they advise packaging 2.46 instead as 2.44 is EOL.
