Gabriel Valcazar 8ec2635654 wpewebkit: add workaround to improve memory usage in ConnectCore Demo app
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.

Gabriel Valcazar 6a7e9fa9e4 webkit: downgrade wpewebkit to 2.44.4 for stability purposes
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.

Gabriel Valcazar cf7a87f6c3 wpewebkit: adapt .bbappend to Yocto 3.2
Update version from 2.28.1 to 2.32.0, remove patch that is already included in
the source tarball and stop removing the qtwpe PACKAGECONFIG, since it's no
longer being included by default.

Gabriel Valcazar 3a3ca20ec2 wpewebkit: add patch to fix video playback on the ccimx8x
The i.MX8X video decoder requires a specific NXP video converter, otherwise
videos will appear with several glitches. This patch adds said plugin in the
WPE webkit's internal gstreamer pipeline.
