Epiphany 44 switched to webkitgtk-6.0 which is a GTK4 build of webkit2gtk. As of April 11, 2023, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS does not include a GTK4 build for webkit2gtk so either that will need to be done or we need to have the Epiphany snap build webkitgtk itself. That would significantly increase the build time (although we would only need to build the gtk4 version instead of the two gtk3 versions that the Ubuntu .deb also needs to build).

Gnome-42-2204 has only webkit2gtk-4.0 and 4.1. But we should be able to compile 6.0.

We would need webkit2gtk 2.40 which we haven't made available in Ubuntu 22.04 LTS yet. But if we could build webkitgtk as a part, it would free us up to be able to package new Epiphany releases sooner.

I mean: to compile it inside the epiphany snap. I'll check it.

@sergio-costas and @hellsworth Ubuntu 22.04 LTS now has webkit2gtk 2.40 with webkitgtk 6.0 (for gtk4) which was needed for Epiphany 44.

It seems to need gcr-4, but it's not available in ubuntu 22.04. I'll check if I can compile it directly.

Update epiphany to 44.0

This is still a work-in-progress:

- to build it, a manual "apt update" must be done inside the
  build environment
- the audio still doesn't work
