Out of the three patches we currently apply to v2.44.4, two are no longer
needed for v2.46.7:
* 0001-Build-fix-when-LAYER_BASED_SVG_ENGINE-is-off.patch is already
included in v2.46.X releases
* 0001-DMABufVideoSinkGStreamer-disable-sink-unconditionall.patch is no
longer needed, since the GL sink is chosen by default in v2.46.7
Only port 0001-UIProcess-WebProcessPool-always-swap-process-when-us.patch to
avoid performance issues on platforms with memory restrictions.
Keep the v2.44.4 patches in case customers want to use said version, and
clearly separate the patchsets for both versions.

The patch we applied for the ccimx8x to enable VPU usage when playing
videos under WebKit is also necessary for the ccimx8mm.

Even though we launch said demo with WebKit's page cache disabled, WebKit still
caches most of the demo's contents for two reasons:
* The demo is browsed using a non-HTTP(S) protocol (file://)
* The demo is contained within the same domain (same-site browsing)
This can lead to unexpected behavior on platforms with small RAM size. Add
a workaround to force WebKit to create a new web process everytime we open
a page on the demo, deleting the previous process and freeing its memory.
An alternative solution would be to alter our demo to make sure a page's
resources are correctly freed when exiting said page, but this provides a
general solution that ensures memory cleanup in all cases, albeit with slightly
longer loading times.

2.46.5 has an issue where the ConnectCore demo doesn't register mouse clicks
in its main window, making it unusable. Until we find the cause of this issue,
downgrade to the nearest available release 2.44.4, where mouse clicks are
working fine.
Backport a patch from 2.46.X to allow builds with the lbse PACKAGECONFIG
disabled and apply a custom patch to make sure the correct gstreamer sink is
used for the ccimx8x.

By default, we don't enable wpewebkit's qtwpe config, so the qtbase-native
dependency pulled in automatically via the qt6-cmake bbclass isn't necessary.
Make sure the dependency only gets pulled in when needed.

Even though we're already limiting this number of threads to 16, the wpewebkit
compilation process often crashes, even on powerful development PCs with 32
logical cores and 32 GiB of RAM. Reducing the number of threads to 8 avoids
this, at the expense of a slightly longer compilation time.

The main culprit is "accessibility", which adds a dependency with at-spi2-atk.
This service fails to launch if glib-2.0's gschemas.compiled file is missing,
which is the case in our default images. In turn, this failure causes webkit
to stall for 30 seconds before launching. Remove this PACKAGECONFIG to avoid
this issue.
While at it, remove other PACKAGECONFIGs:
* "lbse" and "service-worker" are not configurable anymore and are now
hardcoded features. Removing these PACKAGECONFIGs has no effect on the
build, but their inclusion gives the false impression that they're
configurable, so remove them. "webcrypto" is also not configurable
anymore, but its PACKAGECONFIG pulls in necessary dependencies, so leave
it enabled for now.
* "openjpeg" is not only not configurable, but it's no longer supported.
This PACKAGECONFIG pulls in an openjpeg dependency, making bitbake build
the package even though it never gets included in the final image. Remove
the config to prevent bitbake from building the openjpeg package at all.
* "speech-synthesis" pulls in a dependency with flite, a 15 MiB speech
synthesis tool. We aren't using this feature in our demos, so remove it
from our default configuration to save some space.

Similar to what happens in cog with the drm PACKAGECONFIG, this creates a
dependency with libgbm, a library which isn't available on these platforms.

We initially added newer versions of the recipes related to WPE Webkit in order
to incorporate performance improvements, but the hardknott branch of
meta-webkit includes even newer versions, so we can remove our recipes.
Reflect this change in our distro config file.

By default, we only support the latest versions of the webkit packages anyway,
so use a wildcard so we don't have to update the recipes every time a new
version is available.

Igalia has included performance improvements for i.MX platforms in the latest
versions of different packages related to webkit. Even though the recipes for
these versions are not yet available in meta-webkit, we can add our own to
meta-digi to take advantage of these improvements.
Update the cog patches so they apply cleanly over v0.9.90.

The Qt WPE plugin has an implicit dependency with libgbm, which is only
available on i.MX8 platforms. Also, it pulls in several Qt dependencies,
increasing the total rootfs image size by about 50MiB. Remove said plugin to
completely separate Qt and WebKit functionality.
