RFC only! Patch is only build-tested.

Last gtk2-compatible version of vte is 0.28.2 currently present on OE core.
Later versions depend on gtk3. Since gtk3 exist in OE core, it would make
sense to be able to build version of vte (and other similar packages)
that does not depend on gtk2. Otherwise we end with systems that must
contain both gtk2 (to be used by some programs) and gtk3 (to be used by
other programs).
This patch just adds new recipe for latest vte version, 0.34.5, alongside
with 0.28.2 version.
How should priorities be set? "1" for gtk2-version, so it gets selected despite gtk3-version being newer?

vte supports both gtk2 and gtk3.

Because they are *not* drop-in replacements, how about naming the gtk3
vte vte3_3.34.5.bb?

 0.30.0 NEWS states that "dropped support for gtk2". While this sounds like
upstream 0.28.2 would work with either gtk2 or gtk3, OE recipe depends on
"gtk+", which is always gtk2?

 I think calling it vte3 would be confusing at best, when vte itself is not
version 3.x. How about "vte-gtk3"?

So I would say to rename vte to vte-gtk2 at same time and make it provide
vte for now.
