WPE Webkit update

WPE Webkit update

[Noé Lopez via Emacs development discussions.]

Hi everyone,

I am happy to say that after a lot of debugging I've managed to get WPE
Webkit to load a web page and display it inside xwidgets!

Next step is to get the inputs working again, but it should be much
easier now with all the knowledge I've gathered.

There's 8 commits now, what's the best way to share these?

Have a good day,
Noé Lopez

If you've signed papers, I suggest creating a scratch or feature branch
in the Emacs repository, to which Eli or Stefan should be capable of
granting you write access.

I'm not sure 8 commits justify a branch, unless there's a good chance
for significantly more.  Also, a branch is a good idea if you want
people to try it and report any issues before landing on master.  Is
the WIP at that stage now?

Thanks.

That seems like a good idea, there's still more commits to come as the
browser is not in a usable state yet, and it will definitely need
testing once that is done since some things will definitely break
depending on the environment (mostly graphic drivers).

In the present I would mostly like someone to read through the code and
make sure I'm not doing some outrageous thing that would cause issues.

Thank you,
Noé

Then I think you should post it as a patch here.
