Bug 288456: [PATCH] print/latex-biber: update 2.20 => 2.21

--- Description ---
Revision history for Biber
2.21   (2025-07)
       * **INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE** - the 'collate-options' option no longer
	 accepts a single string in perl hash notation as value. It now
requires
	 the option to be used once per collate option in a more standardised
	 format, due to a code injection vulnerability. For example, instead of
e.g:
	 --collate-options="level => 4, variable => 'non-ignorable'", the
format
	 is: --collate-options level=4 --collate-options
variable='non-ignorable'
       * Support for 32-bit Windows has been discontinued.
       * Improved Unicode support for Windows (thanks to John Collins)
       * Misc bug fixes
