gnu: Remove QuiteRSS due to dependency on QtWebKit.

According to the upstream developers, "Unfortunately, qtwebkit won't
work without it. Everything is very much tied to qtwebkit."

https://github.com/QuiteRSS/quiterss/issues/1470

Additionally, there is no work being done to remove this dependency:

https://github.com/QuiteRSS/quiterss/issues/909

Other distros are removing this package as part of the effort to remove
QtWebKit:
