[QGIS-Developer] Current state of QtWebKit dependency

[Tom Elwertowski]

QtWebKit 5.9.0 builds with Qt 5.13.0 on macOS 10.14.

Using Qt 5.12, the QMAKE_INCDIR_OPENGL path in 
clang_64/mkspecs/modules/qt_lib_gui_private.pri needs to be fixed. Qt 
5.11 and earlier are ok.

The latest QScintilla and PyQt5 also compile ok with Qt 5.13.0 and macOS 
10.14.
