Show chromium security patch version in :versionfeat/7187_chromium_security_patch_in_version
Webengine added a getter for their chromium patch level back in Qt 6.3, since they backport security fixes from chromium in the periods between doing major chromium feature upgrades. It's pulled from a hardcoded string in the webengine source `src/core/web_engine_context.cpp` that's manually updated when they backport something. The "(plus any distribution patches)" bit in there is because it was pointed out that some distributions backport their own security patches or even use webengine from a branch when the hardcoded string only gets updated at release time, despite patches being backported in the meantime. Closes: https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/issues/7187
