poppler: fix CVE-2025-43718

Poppler 24.06.1 through 25.x before 25.04.0 allows stack consumption
and a SIGSEGV via deeply nested structures within the metadata (such
as GTS_PDFEVersion) of a PDF document, e.g., a regular expression for
a long pdfsubver string. This occurs in Dict::lookup, Catalog::getMetadata,
and associated functions in PDFDoc, with deep recursion in the regex
executor (std::__detail::_Executor).
