1. Removes libbz2.so from LIB_DEPENDS
I initially thought this was necessary, but saw a warning that it
probably was not necessary. It looks like no other ports had a similar
LIB_DEPENDS, and the lib in question is in /usr/lib (should be in base).
2. Cleans up LZ4 CMake options
In the original submission for this port (ports/269616), a committer noted
that the CMake LZ4 options could be simplified, so I have applied the
suggestions in this patch.

- it's not quite clear, whether an engine is still required.
Qt5Webkit will be removed at the end of the year.
See: commit e8e65e7574
www/qt5-webkit: mark for deletion
Qt upstream switched to QtWebEngine quite a while ago, and the maintenance
of QtWebKit was carried out by a separate person.
Unfortunately, no release or updates have been pushed in the recent
years.
Note: there is a fork [1] of the used fork [2], that might be viable for people that
really still need to rely on Qt5Webkit.

We create software for people, and the KDE Gear releases are the result
of that. Every four months we publish new updates of a large number of
KDE apps and software libraries. We create new programs to meet more of
your needs, implement more features so you can adapt to an ever-changing
digital world, and make our software faster, more efficient, more
reliable. We also port it to more platforms so you can run it on more
devices: your laptop, your game console, your phone, anywhere.
