Summary [GTK] Remove support for building against libsoup2

Reported 2025-10-04 00:48:32 PDT
There is a experiment in https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/pull/51748 to remove the 4.x API levels from the GTK port, but as we cannot yet remove the ENABLE(2022_GLIB_API) guards, most of the code simplification comes from removing the USE(SOUP2) ones. For now we need to keep the pre-2022 API for both the WPE and GTK port when built with GTK3, but packages for the webkit2gtk-4.0 API version are practically gone from Linux distributions, and it seems reasonable to remove 4.0 and the remaining libsoup2 code during this development cycle.
