[ Impact ]

 * impressive fails to open any pdf and results in a segfault

[ Test Plan ]

 * install impressive in a Jammy installation
 * try open any pdf from cmdline using the command:
   impressive <pdfname>
   Example: $ impressive test.pdf
 * It will fail and will print the following error message:
 
Welcome to Impressive version 0.13.0-beta2 (SVN r298)
pygame 2.1.2 (SDL 2.0.20, Python 3.10.12)
Hello from the pygame community. https://www.pygame.org/contribute.html
Detected screen size: 1280x800 pixels
PDF renderer: Xpdf/Poppler
pdftkParse() FAILED
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

* With the fix impressive will be able to open the pdf and display it.

[ Where problems could occur ]

 * The fix is checking for the pygame sdl version and then based on the version using the correct SDL library.
   It does not change any other code and so does not change the behaviour and has little chance of regressing the user behaviour.

[ Other Info ]

 * The problem exists in v0.13.0~beta2-2 and has been fixed by upstream in v0.13.1 and so only Jammy is affected.
