contextinfo plugin depends on deprecated python-webkit

Hi,

exaile-plugin-contextinfo depends on python-webkit, which is
deprecated and going to be removed from the archive.
exaile-plugin-contextinfo should switch to using the GObject
Introspection bindings for webkit, ideally gir1.2-webkit2-3.0 for
Webkit2 and gtk+3 as upstream has already dropped WebKit1 (so
gir1.2-webkit-1.0 and gir1.2-webkit-3.0 are likely to be dropped from
Debian in the near future). This would mean switching to GObject
Introspection for other bindings as well, e.g. GLib and GTK+, so
making the switch to GTK+ 3 at the same time would make a lot of
sense.

For more information on GObject Introspection see [1] and [2].

If you have any question don't hesitate to ask.

We will have to switch out to PyGI/GTK3 at some point, but there are still quite a few blockers that will prevent us from going that way for the immediate future -- in particular limited developer resources to do the full migration. Thanks for the note though!
