gnu: python-pyqtwebengine: Remove a transitive dependency on QtWebKit.
Since QtWebKit and QtWebEngine are alternative web rendering engines, it
doesn't make sense for one to depend on the other.
See <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/53289> for more information about this
change.
* gnu/packages/qt.scm (python-pyqtwebengine)[inputs]: Replace python-pyqt
with
python-pyqt-without-qtwebkit.
