nokogumbo ships its own sources of the gumbo library which btw hasn't

the library to the extension or we package the updated gumbo library.
It seesm there is another active fork as suggested here
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=950878
Anyway it seems the debian maintainer is also not active and last 4
uploads were nmus.
However
we might have to bump the SONAME then because there are several
packages
depending on libgumbo-dev:
$ reverse-depends -b libgumbo-dev
Reverse-Build-Depends
* claws-mail
* feedreader
* httpdirfs-fuse
* libhtml-gumbo-perl
* litehtml
* ruby-nokogumbo
* tdom
* zim-tools
It'd be easier for us to use the embedded copy as it is tested for
compatibility. Though it means we have to take care of the fork, but it
being maintained by nokogumbo upstream, may be that is fine. So I'm
leaning towards this option now.
