WPE WebKit 2.51.4 released

This is a development release leading towards the 2.52 series.

What’s new in WPE WebKit 2.51.4?

• Fix rendering of some PDFs due to issues in cross-thread transfer of accelerated bitmaps.
• Fix a bug in compositor state causing that one frame could be sent to the UI process before the previous one is done.
• Use timerfd_* when available to improve timer resolution.
• Support using AHardwareBuffer as backing store for accelerated surfaces, which avoids copying graphics buffers shared among different processes when using WPEPlatform on Android.
• Support non-composited page rendering, which may be beneficial on low-end embedded devices with weak GPUs, or without a GPU at all. This may be toggled at runtime by disabling the AcceleratedCompsiting feature flag.
• Add the ENABLE_WPE_LEGACY_API CMake option, which allows disabling the libwpe-based API on builds that have the new WPEPlatform API enabled at build time.
• Correctly handle the program name passed to the sleep disabler.
• Change XKB context initialization to always succeed even if the default configuration directories are not present in the system.
• Fix synthetic clicks for unhandled touch events being produced twice per event.
• Fix the build with Clang 21.
• Fix the build when support for Sysprof tracing is disabled.
• Fix several crashes and rendering issues.
