Bug Description

[Impact]
gnome-panel crashes when one tries to open the preferences of the Weather Report applet.

[Test Case]
1. Install gnome-panel and gnome-applets.
2. Run gnome-panel.
3. Open the “Add to Panel” dialog (Alt + right-click → Add to Panel…), select “Weather Report”.
4. Right-click the added applet, click “Preferences”.
5. gnome-panel should not crash, instead the preferences menu should be opened.

[Proposed Fix]
libgweather 3.31.91 introduced an ABI break without SONAME bump, the values of some enums have changed. See <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libgweather/issues/17>. As the current gnome-applets in Disco was built against libgweather 3.28, it thinks that a location level is GWEATHER_LOCATION_DETACHED, while it actually is GWEATHER_LOCATION_NAMED_TIMEZONE.

The proposed fix is a simple rebuild against new libgweather to pick up new enum values.

[Regression Potential]
As the fix is a simple rebuild, I cannot imagine any regressions this could cause.
