sane-backends 1.4.0

[martyj19]

Upstream is here. Currency appears to have missed 1.4.0 and 1.3.1 which has been out since 2024-05-22.

https://gitlab.com/sane-project/backends/-/releases

Must use the "other" .tar.gz not the "assets". Otherwise you will need autoconf and some .m4 that are in a package called autoconf-archive.

We may need to change the currency script to indicate that this package needs a manual check. Upstream uses gitlab and that uses the "clever" use of javascript that simple tools like wget or curl do not interpret.

If someone can figure out how to determine the current version without a graphical browser, please let me know.

Currency has been changed to manual. I also created a new ticket #21661 in the Pre-release milestone to check all packages with manual entries.
