I recently noticed that I wasn't able to build firefox-based browsers
on my beefy computer ; I figured that the RAM can be cleaned up of the
testing/web-platform without consequences (other directories in
testing often include files that are used elsewhere in the
build-system).

It frees 800M of RAM at build time.

I also tried on Icecat but it looks like it already removes it.

  gnu: make-librewolf-source: Delete testing/web-platform.
  gnu: make-torbrowser: Delete testing/web-platform.
