Seeing that librsvg has rust-pango (and some others) in cargo-inputs,
and therefore needs pango to build, I think it's safe to move pango (and
others as needed) to propagated inputs. Make sure to make the necessary
changes to librsvg-2.40 also.

I haven't had any problems building the rust based librsvg on
core-updates, so I'd suggest leaving that alone for now.
