Leaving the webbrowser-app task open as the webapp container is
currently built with QtWebKit support (for web applications that still
use version 1.0 of the policy). Once those applications are updated to
use version 1.1 of the policy, we can remove QtWebKit support, and a lot
of conditional code with it.

Title:
  Remove qtwebkit from touch image

Status in the base for Ubuntu mobile products:
  Confirmed
Status in Web Browser App:
  Triaged
Status in ubuntu-touch-meta package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

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
