I tested ibus-libzhuyin in experimental today, and I can type Chinese
words without any problem. So I think it is good.
If there is no problem, I prefer to update libpinyin and libzhuyin
together to the new version. It would be easily to maintain since we
only need to deal with single source tarball.

Current ibus-libzhuyin was built with libzhuyin-dev 2.1.0, so it shall
be no problem. I will check if anything go wrong.
I don't remember building fcitx-zhuyin with libzhuyin-dev 2.1.0, will
also check it as well.

Just too busy to deal with this transition.
