There are many other packages in web.scm using netsurf-build-system. IMO
it would be "cleaner" to have all that in a "netsurf" module, but I'm not
sure if it's worth the hassle.

The current patch duplicates netsurf-build-system, which means we have
to maintain it two different places. I think we should avoid that.

Netsurf was added in 2016, but web-browsers.scm only includes 2017.
