[GTK] Use the same DNS prefetching path than the other ports.

• Component: WebKitGTK
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Sergio Villar Senin]

After https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35589 the GTK+ port is using a different code path than the other ports for DNS pre-fetching. It was done back then because there were plans to add some features to soup_session_prepare_for_uri() that would require a full URL instead of just the host name. That work in libsoup was tracked in bug https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=605065.

After reviewing both patches and double checking with Dan, we agreed that it does not longer make any sense as adding more features to _prepare_for_uri() is really unlikely now.

So it looks like going back to the previous state, and thus, using the same code paths than the other ports is desirable.

BTW another advantage of this "revert" is that it brings DNSSoup.cpp back to life. That would be the perfect place to host the DNS prefetching queue that will fix bug #80587  or bug #41630

I forgot to update EFL's PlatformEfl.cmake. Should be fixed in r110671
