Exploratory: Try porting to web-view #10

Description

@AndrewRadev

Right now, quickmd doesn't work on MacOS, because there's no working webview2gtk. It might work on windows, but it'd need GTK installed.

It might be nice to use the web-view project instead, since it seems like it's cross-platform and it uses whatever works on each platform... but it might be much more inconvenient to work with, with a lot of the logic needing to be in javascript. I have no realistic idea of how it would work.

HTML generation, file-watching, and configuration have nothing to do with GTK, so a good chunk of the logic might be fine without it. Whether web-view is convenient enough UI-wise is the big question.

It's something I'd try at some point, at least. Though maybe not even in this project, but in a separate one by copy-pasting stuff ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
