Hello, I have pushed those without tzdata-next and libxml2-next.

tzdata-next is needed for libmateweather, I patch it to use TZDIR
instead of hardcode ZONEINFO_DIR (also open a PR upsteram [1]).
And ignore the test failure (Europe/Kyiv) for now, later when we
got tzdata-2023c, it should works without modify the
libmateweather package.

libxml2-next is needed by some packages (mostly mate-utils will fail
randomly), but I did got all mate packages built successful without
updated libxml2, and the PASS chance is high, so I think we can try some
luck with the CI...  Later I'll take a look at
https://issues.guix.gnu.org/64012 if have more time.
