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.

Building the wpewebkit recipe with more than 16 threads throws an unexpected
error "ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed.", so this commit limits it
to a safe value.

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.

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.

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.

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
