Official WebKit no longer supports Mac 10.14. However, since this system is still very much in use, we want to be able to keep it running for a while. This patch adds a new browser that we would compile and maintain specifically for Mac 10.14: `deprecated-webkit-mac-10.14`. This browser is a clone of Webkit r1443 that is the last known revision to compile on Mac 10.14. As we move on, we're free to modify this browser however we want, backporting important patches.

Official WebKit no longer supports Mac 10.14. However, since
this system is still very much in use, we want to be able to
keep it running for a while.
This patch adds a new browser that we would compile and maintain
specifically for Mac 10.14:
deprecated-webkit-mac-10.14. Thisbrowser is a clone of Webkit r1443 that is the last known revision
to compile on Mac 10.14.
As we move on, we're free to modify this browser however we want,
backporting important patches.
Things to note:
deprecated-webkit-mac-10.14also forks the originalbuild.sh,clean.shandarchive.sh.This way we're free to evolve
webkitinfra as we'd like.deprecated-webkit-mac-10.14includes all the code to compile the webkit on otherplatforms as well. This is not used atm, but might come handy in future for e.g. debugging. It also helps
avoid unnecessary code modifications while preparing this patch
