patchset for 9.25
Let me submit a patchset for 9.25. Changes from ghostscript-gpl-9.21-patchset-1.tar.xz are:
* All *9.21* patches are deleted, which are already applied in the source. Namely, they are:
./patches/ghostscript-9.21-cve-2017-5951.patch
./patches/ghostscript-9.21-cve-2017-7207.patch
./patches/ghostscript-9.21-cve-2017-8291-2.patch
./patches/ghostscript-9.21-cve-2017-8291-3.patch
./patches/ghostscript-9.21-cve-2017-8291-4.patch
./patches/ghostscript-9.21-cve-2017-8291-1.patch
./patches/ghostscript-9.21-system-openjpeg.patch
* Font name patch is updated minimally. The order of some entries were changed in the source, so I followed these changes. Other changes are simply ignored. I renamed the patch filename, by changing "9.20" to "9.25"
ghostscript-9.20-urw-fonts-naming.patch -> ghostscript-9.25-urw-fonts-naming.patch

Highlights in this release include: Ghostscript can now consume and produce (via the pdfwrite device) PDF 2.0 compliant files. The main focus of this release has been security and code cleanliness. Hence many AddressSanitizer, Valgrind and Coverity issues have been addressed. The usual round of bug fixes, compatibility changes, and incremental improvements.
