Why we want to expose this?

Saving some MiB of disk space and some memory usage seems worth it, 
particularly for embedded usage.

Example: The Arch Linux x86-64 libxml2+libxslt packages take ~11.5 MiB
on disk, and take at least ~1.6 MiB of memory when loaded (according to
Bloaty — https://github.com/google/bloaty), plus the reductions of size
from the WebKit code that implements the XSLT functionality.

I'm fine with requiring libxslt, but it seems useful for WPE to expose options for disabling features that add new dependencies if those dependencies are not useful on embedded devices.

Anyway, if we don't expose it, we should revert r222727.

Ok..

That's something someone might want to do in order to optimize space/memory requirements as much as possible.

Let's do this then
