Update the versions of gmp and ihu in testing to those mentioned if
doing so makes the overall state of testing no worse than it was before
they were updated (e.g. no more uninstallable packages).
The packages are listed in a single hint to ensure that the update is an
atomic unit; otherwise the new version of gmp would have made the
version of ihu in testing uninstallable and thus wouldn't have
transitioned.

Yesterday was the first occassion when both packages were eligible for
transition - mostly due to a missing ia64 build of ihu until then.
