This patch updates to netpbm to the latest tag in its release series
("advanced"), 10.78.3.

I tested that all the packages that refer to netpbm still build. The
main dependent package is groff.

There are two new test failures that I don't understand yet. Here is the
output of those two tests, run with `set -x`.

There are many security issues fixed since the netpbm package was
created; I don't have a tally. Some of these fixes are contained in this
release, but some are only available on the netpbm 'super-stable'
branch. The netpbm release strategy is complicated; it will take some
time to find relevant bug fixes and port them to this release series.

Your thoughts?

I'm going to "punt" on this for now. Searching through the four
different release series to find bug fixes that we can graft has not
been fruitful. If anyone notices useful patches being applied by other
distros, please bring them to our attention.

I pushed this to core-updates. I forgot to remove the "WIP" marker in
the commit message.
