Message:

QtWebEngine: use Python 3.11 instead, and simplify the instructions.

To do this I've created build_fixes-2.patch. This contains:

• Fix for shipped ffmpeg build failure
• Fixes for Python 3.11 changes
• Changes for ICU-74, but modified to allow building on previous versions of BLFS and their versions of ICU
• The NINJAJOBS change
• Chunks from a patch from ArchLinux32 to prevent instantaneous crashes in Falkon. Still causes issues with text rendering, so I've created a note in the Falkon page. However, video playback and images display perfectly. I will revisit this in February once we have the new glibc. Unlike previous issues, it no longer crashes, so that's a good start!

This significantly brings down the count of instructions for this page
and should make it a lot easier to follow.

I've tested this on both x86_64 and i686. On i686 there's a major
improvement in that Falkon (and KDE System Monitor) actually start and
run, though in the case of Falkon there is still no text.
