[wpe] Update to WPE WebKit 2.50.0

Even when this is an update to a new release series, there are no
differences from the packaging point of view, so the version number
change is enough.

Changed

• WPE WebKit updated to version 2.48.6 (#211).
• Use WPE WebKit and GStreamer version information obtained at run time to determine versioned identifiers for process assets. This avoids manually editing them on every version update (#212).

  the WPE WebKit update (#203).

Fixed

  overlapping UI elements (#190, #193, #202).

  dark mode enabled (#201).
