[PATCH 0/6] xwidget webkit: Use WebKit2 API.

O fellow humans on emacs-devel!

I noticed that for the embedding of a WebKit widget in Emacs an old
version of WebKitGtk is needed, because the code in "src/xwidget.c"
targets the WebKit1 API.  As far as I know, only the latest version of
WebKitGtk is actively maintained, so it seems like a good idea to make
Emacs work with the latest version.

The first patch in this series adjusts the code such that the WebKit2
API is used instead, which allows users to build Emacs with the latest
version of WebKit(2)Gtk.  Due to process separation in WebKit2Gtk,
scrolling is now supposed to be done in the UI process.  This is what
the second patch does; it implements scrolling by executing JavaScript
in the WebKit view.  (Maybe the first two commits should be squashed?)

The other patches are simple changes to make interacting with the
WebKit widget a little easier.

If these patches are okay I'd like to continue by removing the title
hack, which is currently used to get a stringified return value from
JavaScript.  This is no longer needed when using the WebKit2 API as it
supports passing a callback to process any JS return values.

PS: I did copyright assigment for GNU Guile already, but I'm not sure
if copyright assignment is on file for Emacs already.
