Now that we use libcurl, there's no reason to keep Qt networking around.
Further, it doesn't support all features we need anyways, such as non-
buffered request handling for SSE.
The build assumed QT or AppKit are the only build UI frameworks. This
extends the default assumption away from that to start experimenting
with building on other platforms.
GPU painter that uses AccelGfx is slower and way less complete compared
to both default Gfx::Painter and Skia painter. It does not make much
sense to keep it, considering Skia painter already uses Metal backend on
macOS by default and there is an option to enable GPU-accelerated
backend on linux.
This was used to convert markdown into HTML for display in the browser,
but no other browser behaves this way, so let's simplify things by
removing it.
(Yes, we could implement all kinds of "convert to HTML and display" for
every file format out there, but that's far outside the scope of a
browser engine.)
For some reason, WebContent fails to load simple sites like xkcd.com
without the Qt event loop, even when using RequestServer instead of the
Qt networking stack. The CMake build on Linux has the same issue if we
skip installing the Qt event loop. It's not clear why this is - whether
something depends on the Qt event loop, or if there's a bug in the Unix
event loop implementation.
This is, however, also needed to use the --enable-qt-networking feature.
It previously resided in LibWebView to hide the details of launching a
singleton process. That functionality now lives in LibCore. By moving
this to Ladybird, we will be able to register the process with the task
manager.
On macOS, it's not trivial to get a Mach task port for your children.
This implementation registers the chrome process as a well-known
service with launchd based on its pid, and lets each child process
send over a reference to its mach_task_self() back to the chrome.
We'll need this Mach task port right to get process statistics.
We were able to keep LibCoreMinimal a bit smaller as an object library,
but that is causing ODR violations in the fuzzer build (realistically,
should be an issue in all builds, but only the fuzzer actively complains
for some reason).
To make it a shared library, we have to add a couple more symbols to it,
and make LibCore publicly depend on it.
These are standalone applications meant to be run by the user directly,
as opposed to other libexec processes which are programmatically forked
by the browser. To do this, we simply remove these processes from the
`ladybird_helper_processes` list. We must also explicitly list the
dependencies for these processes.
The Serenity chrome is the only chrome thus far that sends all input key
and mouse events to WebContent, including shortcut activations. This is
necessary for all chromes - we must give web pages a chance to intercept
input events before handling them ourselves.
To make this easier for other chromes, this patch moves Serenity's input
event handling to LibWebView. To do so, we add the Web::InputEvent type,
which models the event data we need within LibWeb. Chromes will then be
responsible for converting between this type and their native events.
This class lives in LibWeb (rather than LibWebView) because the plan is
to use it wholesale throughout the Page's event handler and across IPC.
Right now, we still send the individual fields of the event over IPC,
but it will be an easy refactor to send the event itself. We just can't
do this until all chromes have been ported to this event queueing.
Also note that we now only handle key input events back in the chrome.
WebContent handles all mouse events that it possibly can. If it was not
able to handle a mouse event, there's nothing for the chrome to do (i.e.
there is no clicking, scrolling, etc. the chrome is able to do if the
WebContent couldn't).
It aligns better with the Filesystem Heirarchy Standard[1] to put our
program-specific helper programs that are not intended to be executed by
the user of the application in $prefix/libexec or in whatever the
packager sets as the CMake equivalent. Namely, on Debian systems this
should be /usr/lib/Ladybird or similar.

We currently bundle AK with LibCore on Lagom. This means that to use AK,
all libraries must also depend on LibCore. This will create circular
dependencies when we create LibURL, as LibURL will depend on LibUnicode,
which will depend on LibCore, which will depend on LibURL.
