[poppler] Creating a Beta 3

[alex bodnaru]

hello friends,

thumbs up for the progress.

however #2981 is more sexy, #55977 resolves a real design bug in a too
superficial attempt to resolve visual to logical text conversion.

sorry to lobby my own reports and patches (i just know them better), but #55979
fixes an even more annoying bug, with no workaround for the glib api users.
python users rely on glib too.

thanks in advance,
alex
