-------Changes--------
This patch addresses the problem by removing vendored C libraries from the package — the vendored onig_sys crate now uses the system libonig-dev, and the vendored blake3 crate now uses the pure Rust implementation rather than relying on the included C library, which has also been removed.

Note that the orig tarball was also regenerated — see my previous
comment for the tarball itself.

Title:
  Erroneously-vendored C library causes build failures on higher C
  standards

Status in rustc-1.85 package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Newer versions of GCC cause problems with the oniguruma C library,
  which is bundled as a dependency of the vendored orig_sys crate. The
  higher C standard causes the oniguruma build to fail.

  This isn't a GCC problem — as I recently learned, it's advised to use
  system C libraries when possible. This bug will be fixed by replacing
  the vendored oniguruma C library with the libonig-dev package.

  One example of a failure caused by this issue is in a `rust-comrak`
  autopkgtest[1]:

  ```
  878s [onig_sys 69.8.1] cargo:warning=oniguruma/src/regparse.c:588:5: error: initialization of 'int (*)(void)' from incompatible pointer type 'int (*)(st_str_end_key *, st_str_end_key *)' [-Wincompatible-pointer-types]
  ```
