I don't see any sign of webkit-4.0 (or removal of webkit-3.0) in my
Ubuntu 19.10 installation.. This is an update from a previous version,
but anyway, even "apt search libwebkitgtk" shows libwebkitgtk-3.0-dev
which gets used for the build.

Advice of Charge encoding/parsing is covered externally, i.e., there is
only an interface for configuring fully prepared payload in hostapd
(anqp_elem=278:<hexdump>) and an interface for exposing fetched ANQP
information in wpa_supplicant. And both the AP and station
implementations have passed tests, but obviously there are external
components involved in running the needed operations.
