update zig-gobject to Zig 0.15 version (but still builds on Zig 0.14) (#8522)

This is a very minimal change to fix a regression from when the
constraints were reworked (moved off the GPU and on to the CPU), where
we weren't constraining dingbats anymore. This fixes that and also adds
several other Unicode blocks to also treat as symbols.

In the future (post-1.2) I'll make a more comprehensive set of custom
constraints that differ depending on a hand-rolled list of character
attributes.

You'll notice that with spaces in between (so each glyph can be up to 2
cells wide), there's very little change with a font with wider cells,
there would be more of a change for people with narrower fonts. The real
star of the show is when they're all shoved together and need to be
constrained to 1 cell; it's utter chaos without constraints, but with
constraints it's nice and orderly (some glyphs get too small to read
well, but there's nothing we can really do about that, users should
really have a font like Iosevka Fixed installed on their system if they
want a good source for terminal-compatible symbol glyphs)
