I demoted libmanette to universe for questing. I'm leaving this note in
case someone wants to get libmanette into main again.

libmanette was only in main because it is an optional dependency in
webkit2gtk to provide video game controller (gamepad) support.

It was demoted to universe because that feature didn't seem very
important for how we are using webkit2gtk currently and because
libmanette now depends on the hidapi library (which is in universe). The
hidapi library doesn't have a very good testing story currently (it has
a test suite that only works on Windows) and we have to make choices
about what we are going to spend our limited time working on.

If libmanette is every promoted to main again, we can re-enable the
gamepad feature in webkit2gtk.
