Searching the sources, Qt WebKit is only used for mythbrowser.  I think 
this is only used in mythfrontend via the themes?

```
git grep -ni webkit -- ':!html/*' ':!*.css'
git grep -n mythuiwebbrowser -- ':!i18n/*'
```

Qt 6 removed Qt WebKit in favor of Qt WebEngine, which MythTV never 
ported to.

configure should disable Qt WebKit if it is not found.  (configure gives 
a warning even if it is explicitly disabled.)
