Is the GTK2 dependency still needed? #47398 dropped it for
Firefox as of 59, but it's not sure what changed in 59 to
make it able to be closed; are we waiting for Thunderbird 60
to ship?

FS#47398, Thunderbird runs fine without gtk2 installed, as it now fully uses gtk3. Not entirely sure what /usr/lib/thunderbird/gtk2/libmozgtk.so is still used for, but if it is the plugin-container then I don't see why Thunderbird needs that... anyway, the parallel issue which forced the hard dependency for Firefox should be fixed here now as well as Thunderbird uses the newer mozilla base code, right?https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1377445
@eschwartz could you rename this issue from "drop gtk2 dependency?" to "move gtk2 to makedepends" which is more accurate?
