Heads-up: webkit2gtk4.0 and javascriptcoregtk4.0 subpackages to be dropped

[Michael Catanzaro]

Hi,

Since Fedora 39 has been branched, it's now time to remove the 
webkit2gtk4.0 (and javascriptcoregtk4.0) subpackages from rawhide to 
implement the Fedora 40 change proposal:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Remove_webkit2gtk-4.0_API_Version

A reminder that webkit2gtk4.0 provides WebKitGTK for applications that 
use GTK 3 and libsoup 2. The migration path is to switch to 
webkit2gtk4.1, which contains no API changes but links to libsoup 3 
instead of libsoup 2. All applications that still depend on both 
WebKitGTK and libsoup 2 [1] will break until fixed.

For info (this is from F39, but should be pretty much right):
