Update GNU IceCat to 91.2.0
* data/files-to-append/browser/locales/en-US/browser/preferences/preferences.ftl (detect-network-connectivity-option) (detect-network-connectivity-description): Add label and description for new IceCat-specific preference for toggling the network connectivity service. * data/newtab/directory.png: * data/newtab/fsf.ico: * data/newtab/fsf.png: * data/newtab/gnu.ico: * data/newtab/gnu.png: * data/newtab/libreplanet.ico: * data/newtab/libreplanet.png: * data/newtab/trisquel.ico: * data/newtab/trisquel.png: * data/newtab/wikinews.ico: * data/newtab/wikinews.png: * data/newtab/wikipedia-org@2x.png: * data/newtab/wikipedia.ico: * data/newtab/wikipedia.png: New files, imported from Trisquel's Abrowser build helper. These will be used for the "top sites" displayed on the newtab page. * data/patches/default-search-duckduckgo.patch: * data/patches/duckduckgo-no-params.patch: Remove. The search engine machinery has been completely changed upstream, yet again. * data/patches/disable-settings-services.patch: * data/patches/hide-protections-dashboard.patch: * data/patches/icecat-about-dialog.patch: * data/patches/moz-configure-changes.patch: Adapt to v91. * data/patches/icecat-preferences.patch: Change the preference key for the captive portal toggle from 'captivedetect.canonicalURL' to 'network.captive-portal-service.enabled'. There was at least one report from several years back that 'network.captive-portal-service.enabled' was not respected: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1481085 But it seems to have been a rare occurrence/bug. As such, I believe it's okay to toggle this preference instead of changing the address 'captivedetect.canonicalURL' points to. * data/settings.js: Set several preferencess to try and disable new annoying VPN- and mobile-related promos. * makeicecat: Adapt to v91. Update FFMAJOR, FFMINOR, SOURCEBALL_CHECKSUM, and L10N_CMP_REV. We now require Python 3 and the jsonschema Python library as build dependencies. So check for their existence and error out if they don't. Given that the search engine machinery has been completely changed yet again, add a 'configure_search' function to make relevant changes, and ultimately run the new 'tools/process-json-files.py' Python script. Also comment out the 'configure_mobile', to be removed soon, as Mozilla has long since removed the parts of the firefox code base for mobile builds, and their mobile browser is now a separate project and code base. * tools/process-json-files.py: New file, from packagers/maintainers of Trisquel's Abrowser and Parabola's Iceweasel, for processing and modifying various JSON files -- such as those relating to search engines -- in the firefox code base.

These help the browser assess the network connectivity state, but will result in automatic DNS queries and HTTP connections being made for those checks.
