[Bug 1871972] [NEW] Update pango for Unicode 13.0

[Jeremy Bicha]

Public bug reported:

Unicode 13 was released a month ago. The Pango library needs to be
updated for the new emoji sequences for emoji that are implemented by
multiple emoji in sequence to appear as a single character instead of as
separate parts. For instance, https://emojipedia.org/black-cat/

By doing this update for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS now, it will be easier to get
full Unicode 13 support once Ubuntu's color emoji font (fonts-noto-
color-emoji) is released with Unicode 13 support in a few months.

I don't believe a freeze exception is necessary for this improvement
now.
