commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=cdc7ca446fdf639ae1398318e6cc5788192f0ced
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

As we're about to remove the libgtk2 package, let's drop the gtk
frontend from netsurf. It is worth mentioning that the gtk3 frontend
remains in place as an alternative.
