 graph.

I am proposing this change because:

1) QtWebKit is hard to keep building:

<https://bugs.gnu.org/50014>

2) QtWebKit is not really "ready" to be used, being an alpha release
with a huge caveat from upstream:

"WARNING: This release is based on old WebKit revision with known
unpatched vulnerabilities. Please use it carefully and avoid visiting
untrusted websites and using it for transmission of sensitive data.
Please wait for new release from qtwebkit-dev branch to use it with
untrusted content."
https://github.com/qtwebkit/qtwebkit/releases/tag/qtwebkit-5.212.0-alpha4
https://seclists.org/oss-sec/2021/q3/66

3) It doesn't seem to be used by gnuradio, although I'm not 100% sure.
It's not mentioned in the gnuradio build log, anyways.
