Title:
  Update pango for Unicode 13.0

Status in pango1.0 package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  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/

  Pango is used by many apps (particularly GTK apps) to display emoji.

  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.
