I have fixed almost all ICU 75 fallouts.
Remaining packages are lang/nodejs20 and databases/postgresql13-client
with icu option.

libcdr, libe-book, libmspub, libqxp, libzmf are recorded as broken in:

https://mail-index.netbsd.org/pkgsrc-bulk/2024/06/03/msg025332.html

However I cannot reproduce the errors in my local tree.

After nodejs20 and postgresql13-client with icu option builds are
confirmed, I will remove all packages and rebuild from scratch
to check libcdr and so on.

If anyone finds additional fallouts, please send an email to me.

Thank you.
