qtwebengine-opensource-src FTBFS after Python 3.12 transition and six.moves change

[Zixing Liu]

qtwebengine-opensource-src is still FTBFS after the Python 3.12 transition and six.moves change.

Please find the patch attached for the fix. You can also find a PPA build with this patch applied: https://launchpad.net/~liushuyu-011/+archive/ubuntu/misc/+sourcepub/15860599/+listing-archive-extra.

Have you looked at the FTBFS symbols errors in your ppa armhf build?

They look (unsurprisingly) similar to the qt6-webengine ones which have now been fixed.

I am working on updating time_t definition in pkgkde-symbolshelper, which will be a proper way to resolve symbols errors:

I will upload both pkgkde-symbolshelper and qtwebengine when it's ready.
