WPE WebKit 2.51.3 released

This is a development release leading towards the 2.52 series.

What’s new in WPE WebKit 2.51.3?

• Add API to take image snapshots of web views, using webkit_web_view_get_snapshot() and webkit_web_view_get_snapshot_finish().
• Add WPEPlatform API to obtain the contents of the clipboard, using wpe_clipboard_content_get_text() and wpe_clipboard_content_get_bytes().
• Improve composition scheduling to avoid blocking waiting for tile painting.
• Moved WebRTC network access to the NetworkProcess, when using GstWebRTC. This requires librice, and building with the CMake USE_LIBRICE option. When enabled, it is still possible to choose the older libnice-based implementation at runtime by setting the variable WEBKIT_GST_DISABLE_WEBRTC_NETWORK_SANDBOX=1 in the environment.
• Add support the XR_ANDROID_raycast OpenXR extension for WebXR Hit Testing.
• Add support to use super-tiled graphics buffers when running on Vivante GPUs. Currently setting WEBKIT_SKIA_USE_VIVANTE_SUPER_TILED_TILE_TEXTURES=1 in the environment is needed to opt-in into using those.
• Ensure that GStreamer is properly initialized before applying any multimedia handling quirks.
• Fix pointer event processing no longer working after a mouse right button press.
• Fix PointerEvent behaviour for mouse events synthesized from touch inputs.
• Fix seeking and looping of media elements that set the “loop” property.
• Fix several crashes and rendering issues.
