Thing is, it's confusing for every distro to use different names for
the same thing, like we did for webkit2gtk-4.0. But we seem to have all
standardized on using the pkg-config version for the package name now.
Consistency with other distros is worth a lot.

Removing the 2 is already done.
I had a pet idea to change the API version to -4.5, so that we could
sync up with GTK 5 with -5.0, but this didn't seem popular upstream. So
now I'm toying with changing to -5.1 or -6.0 just to avoid confusion
caused by webkit2gtk-5.0 looking almost the same as webkitgtk-5.0.
I also considered webkitgtk4-1.0, to put the GTK API version into the
API name, but unfortunately this would be quite annoying to implement.
Removing the 2 was a lot of work :P and it's nicer to only vary the API
version at the end.
