gcr: remove dependency on gtk3 +x11

Description

It's more a question than a ticket.

Is it necessary to have gcr been built with GTK3 +x11? Wouldn't it be possible to get it working with GTK3 +quartz as well? or like pango/cairo +x11+quartz?

Summary: gcr builds with GTK3 x11 → gcr: remove dependency on gtk3 +x11

This is a known issue.

GCR directly uses the GTK+ X11 backend API instead of using the higher level backend agnostic API. Until this is changed, it's not possible to build gcr (and thus it's dependenents) without gtk3 +x11.

This has been reported upstream. The upstream developers have indicated that they are willing to entertain a patch to remove this requirement but are not actively working on a solution themselves.

Duplicate of #41839. See that ticket for further details.
