Patch for gtkhtml3

Last release was 5 years ago and its usage has been discouraged by upstream since 2012. It also fails to build with newer versions of pango as an example.

Log:
  www/gtkhtml3: markd deprecated

  From https://wiki.gnome.org/RoadMap/GtkHtml  (2012-09-19):
  	* GtkHtml is being phased out in favor of WebKit/GTK+.
  	* Using GtkHtml in newly-written code is strongly discouraged.
  	* GtkHtml 4.6.x will likely be the final release series.

  Upstream called this one dead 8 years ago. Time make it so.
