Bug description:
  The argument to remove this is based on the following:

  The qtwebkit webview is deprecated for our sdk and we will not be supporting it long term
  We are supporting an Oxide/Chromium solution for the Ubuntu.Webview
  This was done largely for security reasons
  The qtwebkit package is large and we would like to reduce image and install size 
  We want to discourage app devs from using this api any longer, the review tools have indicated this for several months
