The WebKit2 port is "read for use"

Addressing the issues mentioned in the README:

- I'm using it every day and I haven't found any more bugs (in lariza).
- "View source" mode is still not implemented. However, I don't see any
  other way than re-downloading the current weg page and showing the
  results in some to-be-written widget that displays text (+ HTML syntax
  highlighting + maybe other stuff). That's quite a lot of overhead for
  a rarely used feature, so I decided to drop it.
- That "annoying border around the WebView widget" is related to my gtk
  theme (upstream "Raleigh"). Adwaita, the current GTK+ 3 default theme,
  does not have that border.

tl;dr: The WebKit2 port is as ready as it can get and it's "more bug
free" than the WebKit1 version.

-
-There's a number of issues on this branch:
-
-    - "View source" mode is not yet ported. This feature has been
-      removed from WebKit2, so we have to invent some way to re-create
-      this...
-    - There's an annoying border around the WebView widget.
-    - There may be a hell lot of other issues that I have not yet
-      encountered.
-
-However, important issues of the original WebKit1 lariza have been
-fixed:
-
-    - Those pages that crash all WebKit1 browsers do work now.
-    - The "back" button works reliably.
