#52400: Update gimp ports to use webkit2-gtk

Port: gimp2 gimp2-devel gimp3 |
--------------------------------------+----------------------
Comment (by devans@…):
gimp2 and gimp2-devel are based on gtk2 and could not be ported to
webkit2-gtk without porting to gtk3 first. There is an upstream git branch
that is working on the gtk3 update targeting a gimp 3.0 release some time
in the future. gimp3-devel is a port of this branch which currently uses
webkit-gtk3. But looks like gtk3 support is a ways off yet.
The good news is that webkit-gtk is only used to implement a help browser
which can be disabled using --without-webkit. The help browser is
conditionally built based on the variant +help_browser. If webkit-gtk is
removed, the easiest solution is to just remove this variant from the
ports. Without the help browser enabled, the gimp ports use an external
web browser to display online html docs so nothing lost really.
