Upgrade SDK deps so modern Linux distros work.

I can't use the simulator and thus connectiq on Fedora 30.  I assume all modern distros are affected because libwebkitgtk-1.0.so.0 is way too old to be included or even available on current generation distributions.

Please update your deps or better yet compile the simulator statically so it doesn't require ancient libraries.

    FWIW, I managed to find all the dependencies needed to get things running on Manjaro Linux (presumably would work for Arch and other Arch-derivatives too). I had to install the gtk2 and libpng12 packages, available from the main Arch repos, as well as the webkitgtk2 package from the Arch User Repository (AUR). That last one is what provided the elusive libwebkitgtk-1.0.so.0 library. Be warned though, webkitgtk2 took about 2.5 hours to build on my laptop (Core i7, about 4/5 years old).

    Of course, this doesn't change the main issue raised by this thread - the SDK manager needs to be updated so that it doesn't depend on this old and hard-to-find library!
