Ice: update to 3.7.5
<!-- Mark items with [x] where applicable -->

#### General
- [ ] This is a new package and it conforms to the [quality requirements](https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/blob/master/Manual.md#quality-requirements)

#### Have the results of the proposed changes been tested?
- [ ] I use the packages affected by the proposed changes on a regular basis and confirm this PR works for me
- [x] I generally don't use the affected packages but briefly tested this PR

<!--
If GitHub CI cannot be used to validate the build result (for example, if the
build is likely to take several hours), make sure to
[skip CI](https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#continuous-integration).
When skipping CI, uncomment and fill out the following section.
Note: for builds that are likely to complete in less than 2 hours, it is not
acceptable to skip CI.

#### Snip from commit message:

Continuation of my work at #28422

Upstream mcpp is abandonware and is missing features newer versions of Ice need to build.
There are supposedly patches applicable to the official mcpp that allows it to work but I couldn't see links to any (I'm guessing they live in distros).
Instead I tried packaging ZeroC's officially maintained stripped down library only version (see previous commit bd26d0d7).

Tests have been disabled because they take a disgustingly long time to build and have to be hand blacklisted to the ones that don't fail on each platform.
I tested this package by building and running Murmur from the `mumble` package.

Almost all of the patches had completely bit-rotted, I salvaged a few that was still relevant but the rest had to be thrown away.
I made the changes necessary to cross-compile to aarch64-musl but the result untested as I don't have any exotic systems to test with (`mumble` was built for aarch64-musl as well).

A patch file from https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/28948.patch is attached
