I don't think you need this change; RUNNINGBOARD_WEBKIT_PRIORITY_SUPPORT is only on on iOS-family platforms, where we don't backdeploy and thus SYSTEM_FEATURE_FLAGS is always true. (Also evidenced by the fact that it wasn't guarded before)

Hmm, I was misled by the folder name (Mac/ProcessLauncherMac.mm).

Maybe we should remove `RB_full_manage_WK_jetsam` from Webkit-macos.plist?

A sad vestige of history (should say Cocoa).

Yeah, we can remove it from the plist later, but in this patch we can just leave it alone.

Technically by the same logic you could just change these to return true instead of the PLATFORM(MAC), because we'll always have SYSTEM_FEATURE_FLAGS on iOS-family). But either way will behave the same.
