Plots.jl, GR.jl broken due to GR_jll v0.69.1+1

Hi all,

I may have broken Plots.jl and GR.jl by introducing v0.69.1+1 of GR_jll. In particular, you might see an issue when trying to use any GR plugins. For example, the bug creates an issue when using SVG output within VSCode.

The fix is currently on the master branch of GR.jl. Alternatively, you can downgrade GR_jll to v0.69.1+0 via the following commands.

using Pkg
pkg"add GR_jll#fc933dae4a54c49707193e2dcc7df1e5ef201cab"

A new release of GR.jl should be forthcoming in the next few days.

GR_jll 0.69.1+1 yanked in yank broken `GR_jll` (windows - vscode) by t-bltg · Pull Request #71554 · JuliaRegistries/General · GitHub.

A new release of GR.jl should be forthcoming in the next few days.

As @t-bltg did, the solution to this is not to tell people to use a master version and wait a few days for a new release, it is to immediately yank the faulty version.

Yes, of course. Sorry, I did not get the note that it would be a couple days to release until i was asleep.
