Upgrade to Webkit2 API

[alunux]

webkitgtk-3.0 (Webkit) has been considered deprecated and insecure for some time [1][2]. It even has already been removed from the repositories that will become Fedora 27 [3]. Need some idea about this from Manokwari or BlankOn development team. Thanks :)

@alunux Thank you for bringing this issue up. We'ill make this prioritized. Anyway, guys on R&D are wondering, would you like to join research team in BlankOn instead?

[alunux]

@herpiko Thank you, sir. With all due respect, i couldn't accept that invitation. First, i can't sign agreement like this [1]. Second, i'm not a long term contributor, i just fix small issues, make patches, and send them to upstream. Cooperative with upstream as much as possible. Third, i don't like (please, don't get me wrong about this) about technology behinds Manokwari, like Vala, GTK+, and friends, because their documentation isn't friendly to newbie like me. Well, i think this is just personal taste :) And finally, i don't like the design (architecture, especially web stuffs) [2].

Again, with all due respect, i just want to be honest in my opinion. But overall, as user, i like it, that's why i contribute back to the project :)

@alunux Thank you for your honest answer. We really appreciate your contributions. 😃

There are some stickers and stuff that intended to be given to contributors. If you don't mind to send your address (to herpiko@gmail.com), I'll send you them as appreciation.

@alunux Back to the topic, we'll discuss this internally. There is also another project that depends onwebkitgtk-3.0 like BlankOn Installer and Maleo.

@herpiko Wah, i really don't know that i will receive cool stuffs from BlankOn. Thank you so much, guys :D

I don't know about the progress of this issue. I'm trying to work on this, but still nothing is useful here. I will open a PR if it makes some progress.
