gtk-4.4.0

[Douglas R. Reno]

New minor version

[Xi Ruoyao]

SONAME is still libgtk-4.so.1, so it can be elevate into 11.0 (as 4.2.1 is still unchecked now).

• To run test on X11: meson test --setup x11
• To run test on wayland: meson test --setup wayland

ninja test invokes meson test --setup wayland unconditionally.

On my system, with either X11 or wayland the test result are same:

Ok:                 665 
Expected Fail:      2   
Fail:               6   
Unexpected Pass:    0   
Skipped:            1   
Timeout:            0

Per advice from Xi, changing back to 11.0
