The support of the built-in help accessible from spokes and hubs of all user interfaces is removed. The `help_directory` Anaconda configuration option is deprecated and removed. The `anaconda-user-help` package will be deprecated and removed. Anaconda will aim to make user interfaces self-descriptive and encourage users to use the official documentation of specific Linux distributions available on-line. Additional notes: * The Fedora built-in help content was outdated. Last change of the content happened six years ago (see the `anaconda-user-help` repository) and there is no process for keeping the help content up to date. * The RHEL built-in help content was generated from the official on-line installation guide. However, the release process of this content wasn't always straightforward and there were issues with the scripts that generated this content. * The built-in help content was displayed by the `yelp` tool. This tool was a common source of bugs, so it is desirable to drop this dependency. Resolves: #INSTALLER-3758

We're removing WebKitGTK[[0] from RHEL 10 and one of the applications that are using it is Yelp which is the default help viewer in GNOME[1]. We do have some plans[2] on how to rework the whole thing so the existing help is diplayed in the default browser. But until we agree on something (and implement it) we shouldn't block the WebKitGTK removal and rather temporarily remove it. It used to be required by Anaconda as well, but the dependency was dropped with [3] which is part of the ELN [4].
