This is a bug fix release in the stable 2.38 series.

## What's new in WPE WebKit 2.38.4?

- Improve GStreamer multimedia playback across the board with improved
  codec selection logic, better handling of latency, and improving
  frame discard to avoid audio/video desynchronization, among other
  fixes.

  instead. If needed WEBKIT_GST_ENABLE_HLS_SUPPORT=1 can be set in the
  environment to enable it back.
- Fix MediaSession API not showing artwork images.
- Fix MediaSession MPRIS usage when running inside a Flatpak sandbox.
- Fix input element controls to correctly scale when applying a zoom
  factor different than the default.
- Fix leakage of Web processes in certain situations.
- Fix the injected bundle not being found when running inside a sandbox.
- Fix the build with ENABLE_INTROSPECTION when cross-compiling.
- FIx the build with ENABLE_WEBGL disabled.
- Fix the build with GStreamer-based WebRTC enabled.
- Fix several crashes and rendering issues.
