Inkscape 1.4.2 build failure with Poppler 25.06
<!-- Please report new issues at https://inkscape.org/report; this tracker is for staff-confirmed issues only.
See our full bug reporting guidelines at https://inkscape.org/contribute/report-bugs/ -->
#### Steps to reproduce:
<!-- Describe what you did (step-by-step) so we can reproduce: -->
- Upgrade GNU/Linux from **poppler-25.05.0** to **poppler-25.06.0**
- Recompile *Inkscape-1.4.2* to build against the new poppler.
#### What happened?
Inkscape fails to build from source.
It seems that Poppler 25.06 changed some *C*-like structures to *C++*, notably `std::unique_ptr` and `std::vector`.
Perhaps @KrIr17 would like to take a look? Seems to be an expert in fixing poppler. :smiley:
#### Inkscape Version and Operating System:
- Inkscape Version: 1.4.2
- Operating System: Slackware Linux
- Operating System version: 64-current
- Compiler: GNU gcc/g++ version *14.3.0*
#### Error output during compile:
```
