Our system FFmpeg version is too outdated and Snappy causes a linking
failure (I didn't have time to investigate yet). Hopefully we can revert
this before the stable release of M93.
If our Chrome derivation is Vulkan enabled, the Chrome GPU process
reliably crashes for me under M92 using the proprietary Nvidia drivers.
This is because the PCI-based GPU detection path fails, and we attempt
to use the Vulkan fallback instead, which then crashes(!!)
Including libpci allows us to use Angle's
src/gpu_info_util/SystemInfo_libpci.cpp path instead, which doesn't
crash, unlike src/gpu_info_util/SystemInfo_vulkan.cpp.
The recent glibc update (acdcb85) broke the text rendering, see #131074.
This will hopefully work for ungoogled-chromium as well (at least the
patch applies).

The stable channel update to M92 (97570d30c7) broke the Wayland support:

Note: This won't be the smoothest update. Chromium seems to be fine but
requires gtk3 in $LD_LIBRARY_PATH to find libgtk-3.so.0 (otherwise it
crashes during startup) but Google Chrome fails to initialize
("GPU process exited unexpectedly: exit_code=132") and requires
"--use-gl=angle --use-angle=swiftshader" for hardware(?) acceleration
(which seems to work work fine and performant but SwiftShader should
actually use the CPU instead of the GPU).
The stable channel update in #130877 is currently blocked due to
regressions but a cached build on Hydra might be useful for the meantime
(and that build would even be reusable if the PR is merged without any
changes).
make gtk3Support non-optional, because it hasn't been for a long time
also make gtk2 conditional on firefox older than 90, because we can get
rid of it with firefox 90, but it's still needed by the current ESR
release
This most notably fixes cross _evaluation_ of chromium which previously
would fail because makeWrapper relies on runtimeShell which is not
available in the HostTarget package set.
I tested that the native chromium build still works, but haven't tried
cross compiling it yet. There very well may be additional errors, but at
least they will be build errors, not hard to understand evaluation
errors.
