Support libsoup3

Why should we? I see no missing functionality in v2, as far as pdfpc is concerned. Furthermore, libsoup2 is the standard part of the latest LTS Ubuntu; libsoup3 isn't (it's in the Universe).

[chenrui333]

Maybe just relax the requirement for libsoup2?

As for the ubuntu, I think the reason might be the other way around, because nobody supports libsoup3, it is hard to put it as default.

Where do you see this requirement? It's said "libsoup", not mentioning any specific version.

Frankly, I doubt that pdfpc through its (optional) dependence on libsoup would make any impact on Ubuntu's (or actually Debian's) decision which version to install by default...

that is true, but just saying the ecosystem change is hard :)

Oops, indeed, sorry :). Well, you can change it to 3.0 and see how it goes.

Yeah, I can give that a try. i will report it back. 👍

[chenrui333]

Yeah, loosing the libsoup requirement works for me.

[fnevgeny]

Good, please give #666 (what a number! :)) a try.

In #667 we saw that we cannot simply support both libsoup versions since they are incompatible. I also revert the already made changes to master.
