`WK_CHECKOUT_PATH` defines location of webkit checkout on the
file system. All browser-related scripts, like `prepare_checkout.sh` and
`export.sh` respect this environment variable on all platforms.
* This changes the archive.sh script to use the webkit generate-bundle
tool to generate the MiniBrowser bundles instead of using our custom
logic.
* pw_run.sh is simplified because the new bundles include a wrapper
script that sets the needed LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variables.
pw_run.sh now calls this wrapper script (for GTK or WPE) instead of
calling the MiniBrowser binary directly when running from a bundle.

Originally there was no way to build both webkit-gtk and webkit-wpe
in the same checkout. As a result, we were:
- building webkit-gtk & uploading it to CDN
- building webkit-wpe & uploading it to CDN
- downloading webkit-gtk & webkit-wpe from CDN and compiling a single
webkit-gtk-wpe folder that we uploaded to CDN
As of today, however, we can build WPE and GTK ports together. This
patch starts using this to drastically simplify build process:
- build webkit-gtk and webkit-wpe
- use `archive.sh` script that compiles a single folder with both ports
- upload archive to the cloud
This should also fix currently failing webkit build that fails to
assemble the `webkit-gtk-wpe` folder (I missed these codepaths while preparing
for Ubuntu-20.04 bot).

This patch changes the build system to use the JHBuild minimal dependency
system introduced in WebKit r264092 <https://trac.webkit.org/r264092>
The build has been tested with Ubuntu-18.04
The binary size of the zip bundles is now: 37M (WPE) and 40M (GTK).
Previously it was 54M and 59M (respectively)
* Revert "browser(webkit): exclude gstreamer, its plugins and libdrm from webkit distribution (#2476)"
This reverts commit fc2432a23a.
* Update build num
The `--strip-unneeded` removes all symbols needed for library
compilation as part of a `.a` static library.
([source](https://www.technovelty.org/linux/stripping-shared-libraries.html))
So these are safe to remove and they should keep our binary
debuggable. These should save us ~100Mb unzipped.

Second try at #556. Uses absolute paths for the environment variables so that WPEDependencies builds properly. Switches from `WebKitBuildWPE` to `WebKitBuild/WPE` to avoid the need to change the .gitignore.
My computer takes a long time to build, but it appears to be working.
This patch:
- teaches `//browser_patches/webkit/build.sh` to accept the `--wpe` flag
- teaches `//browser_patches/webkit/archive.sh` to accept the `--wpe` flag
- teaches `//browser_patches/webkit/pw_run.sh` to parse the `--headless`
flag. In this case, we will assume that
`//browser_patches/webkit/checkout` is built for WPE and will pass
proper dependencies.
