The extension module GLMakiePrecompilesExt aims to precompile plotting functions for the GLMakie backend. The plotting functions themselves, however, are defined in a different extension module, PlottingExt, which is agnostic to Makie backend. This setup accidentally broke in Julia 1.11.1, which disallowed dependencies between extension modules. Hopefully there will be a solution in Julia 1.11.2, as per JuliaLang/julia#56204 (comment).
This PR makes the dependencies of GLMakiePrecompilesExt a strict superset of the dependencies of PlottingExt, so that it is safe to make GLMakiePrecompilesExt depend on PlottingExt. Enabled by JuliaLang/julia#56368, which has now been backported to 1.11.
