Pcbnew build: Set KICAD_USE_WEBKIT option default value to OFF. There are 3 reasons: 

* Using a Web navigator embedded in Kicad can create security issues in Kicad.
* The web kit is not always easily available on Linux.
* There is now a tool in kicad fp lib wizard  to list and select the .pretty libs available on Github Kicad repo (When the kicad plugin is selected, this tool can download and make a local copy of these libs)
However, using -D KICAD_USE_WEBKIT=ON when invoking  cmake still build the embedded web viewer.
