[webkit-qt] QtWebKit with reduced feature set for embedded platforms

I think covering it partially with autotests is something we should aim for. Adding the minimal build of webkit to the build bots, like we did lately, is a good step in that direction and if we could gradually add some support for some more of those configurations it would be great. I agree with Benjamin that it's impossible to test all the exponential configurations and our customers understand that - on the other hand I can say with confidence that enabling a smaller QtWebkit is the biggest "wanted feature" for QtWebkit's customers.
