#4438 introduced an implicit dependency on PyGObject 3.55.1. This version is required to support Python 3.15; but it also breaks the compromise introduced to support #3143.
At the time we introduced that compromise (March 2025), Debian 12 was the current stable release, and Ubuntu 22.04 was the "most recent but one" stable LTS for Ubuntu. Today, Debian 12 loses security support status and enters LTS mode in a week (July 11 2026); Ubuntu 22.04 maintenance support ends in 9 months (April 2027). Debian 13 is the stable Debian release, and Ubuntu 26.04 and 24.04 both exist.
Since there is now a viable upgrade path for older Linux distributions, this PR adds a pin for pygobject, and formally drops support for older Linux distros.
Fixes #4533.
