It's been some time since we did this, partly because the upstream
snowball project hasn't formally tagged a new release since 2021.
The main motivation for doing it now is to absorb a bug fix
(their commit e322673a841d9abd69994ae8cd20e191090b6ef4), which
prevents a null pointer dereference crash if SN_create_env() gets
a malloc failure at just the wrong point. We'll patch the back
branches with only that change, but we might as well do the full
sync dance on HEAD.
Aside from a bunch of mostly-minor tweaks to existing stemmers, this
update adds a new stemmer for Estonian. It also removes the existing
stemmer for Romanian using ISO-8859-2 encoding. Upstream apparently
concluded that ISO-8859-2 doesn't provide an adequate representation
of some Romanian characters, and the UTF-8 implementation should be
used instead.
While at it, update the README's instructions for doing a sync,
which have not been adjusted during the addition of meson tooling.
Thanks to Maksim Korotkov for discovering the null-pointer
bug and submitting the fix to upstream snowball.

The main change is a new stemmer for Greek. There are minor changes
in the Danish and French stemmers.

We haven't touched these since text search functionality landed in core
in 2007 :-(. While the upstream project isn't a beehive of activity,
they do make additions and bug fixes from time to time. Update our
copies of these files.
Also update our documentation about how to keep things in sync, since
they're not making distribution tarballs these days. Fortunately,
their source code turns out to be a breeze to build.
Notable changes:
* The non-UTF8 version of the hungarian stemmer now works in LATIN2
not LATIN1.
* New stemmers have appeared for arabic, indonesian, irish, lithuanian,
nepali, and tamil. These all work in UTF8, and the indonesian and
irish ones also work in LATIN1.
(There are some new stemmers that I did not incorporate, mainly because
their names don't match the underlying languages, suggesting that they're
not to be considered mainstream.)
Worth noting: the upstream Nepali dictionary was contributed by
Arthur Zakirov.
initdb forced because the contents of snowball_create.sql have
changed.
Still TODO: see about updating the stopword lists.
Arthur Zakirov, minor mods and doc work by me

Oleg Bartunov and Teodor Sigaev, but I did a lot of editorializing,
so anything that's broken is probably my fault.
Documentation is nonexistent as yet, but let's land the patch so we can
get some portability testing done.
