[2025-02-23] Patch that adds the x11-fonts/aporetic port

The patch marked with [2025-02-23] replaces the previous one posted on
2025-02-05. I made the following changes:

- Updated DISTVERSION from 1.0.0 to 1.1.0
- Replaced GH_TUPLE with GH_ACCOUNT

Aporetic 1.1.0 (changelog)
--------------------------

This release includes two stylistic corrections that pertain to Aporetic Serif
and Aporetic Serif Mono.

- The first change is to the slanted (italic) form of the letter t. Before, it
was mistakenly set to have a curved, upward-facing bottom stroke, which would
clash with the flat bottom of i and l. Now the slanted t has a flat bottom as
intended. The upright (roman) variants are always flat in this regard.

- The second change is to the letter m in both upright and slanted forms.
Before, the m would have a top left serif, as intended, but not a bottom right
tail. The tail is a feature of other glyphs that need to have such a style,
like a, h, n, u: it imposes a proper rhythm together with the rest of the serif
details. Now the m has its missing bottom right tail, making everything
consistent.

[ The m has a shorter middle leg in all the “mono” families” to improve
readability, especially at small point sizes. The proportionately spaced fonts
use a normal middle leg, as m is naturally wider there and thus is already
perfectly legible. The other details are the same. ]
