Please unblock package gimp

[ Reason ]
New bugfix release

[ Impact ]
GIMP 3.0 was finally released in March after years of development. As
more people have been using this version, more bugs have been
identified and many are fixed in this bugfix release.

https://www.gimp.org/news/2025/05/18/gimp-3-0-4-released/

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/compare/GIMP_3_0_2...GIMP_3_0_4

I needed to set NO_AT_BRIDGE to fix a new build test issue. (I think
the alternative was to add Build-Depends on at-spi2-core but the
environment variable is a simpler fix and widely used for Debian GNOME
packages).

[ Tests ]
I installed the gimp 3.0.4-2 packages in Debian Testing and verified
that gimp continues to work. I opened copies of one file each of .jpg,
a .png, and a .jxl (JPEG XL) file from the gnome-backgrounds files in
/usr/share/backgrounds/ and verified that I was able to make basic
changes and export to those formats and to gimp's native .xcf format.

[ Risks ]
gimp is not a key package but it is popular.

gimp is also available on Flathub or Snap or AppImage if Debian's
package is unusable..

[ Checklist ]
  [✔️] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
  [✔️] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
  [✔️] attach debdiff against the package in testing

[ Other info ]
The new gimp version required new versions of babl and gegl. Those
package updates have been unblocked and are now in trixie.

unblock gimp/3.0.4-2

Thank you,
Jeremy Bícha
