Remove QtWebEngine/... from default UA
Good old https://webaim.org/blog/user-agent-string-history/ strikes yet again. Let's just masquerade as Chromium instead of the constant pointless fight.

- The `content.headers.user_agent` setting now has a new
|
||||
`{upstream_browser_version_short}` template field, which is the
|
||||
upstream/Chromium version but shortened to only major version.
|
||||
- The default user agent now uses the shortened Chromium version and doesn't
|
||||
expose the `QtWebEngine/...` part anymore, thus making it equal to the
|
||||
corresponding Chromium user agent. This increases compatibilty due to various
|
||||
overzealous "security" products used by a variety of websites that block
|
||||
QtWebEngine, presumably as a bot (known issues existed with Whatsapp Web, UPS,
|
||||
Digitec Galaxus).
|

- Changed features in userscripts:
|
||||
* `qute-bitwarden` now passes your password to the subprocess in an
|

environment variable when unlocking your vault, instead of as a command
