[webkit-dev] New EWS Non-Unified builder

[Ross.Kirsling at sony.com]

Yeah, I think it's important to clarify that nobody is "using non-Unified-Source building for their development", at least to my knowledge. Being broken by the shifting sands of unified sources is an everybody problem (or at the very least an "everybody that builds via CMake problem", which is ultimately an everybody problem).

I don’t see the goal as “keep non-Unified-Source building” but rather “prevent unrelated build fixes when we add another file later”.  Right now when we add a new file we often have to sprinkle includes, declarations, and other build fixes in files unrelated to the current change.  If we had a bot building without unification we would be informed at the time we write the problematic code.

I do not support the idea of adding an additional builder just to “keep non-Unified-Source building” if no actively-supported platform is not choosing that build style.
