Add Sciter, an independent HTML/CSS/JS webview

[paulocoghi]

Sciter (https://sciter.com/) is a independent, cross-platform open source webview that does not depend on the system webview and browsers.

It provides both an "embeddable" library and a runtime, optionally available as a shared library, which can greatly reduce memory usage when simultaneous applications depend on it.

In my tests, it used less memory than github.com/webview/webview.

Hi !

Thanks for the idea, but it doesn't look like really well known. Because there are a lot of libraries, I try to filter out projects to prevent having dozen of libraries in the benchmark 😄

I will keep this issue open to track this idea, but to be honest, it won't be a priority.

huh? 😅 https://sciter.com/#customers

There wasn't a lot of stars few months ago (and I didn't see that page 😅), but as talked in #342, it grew pretty well since on Github. And this page is another argument to tell it's kinda big indeed :)

Hello @Elanis, I would like to "ping" about Sciter, again. Not only because it grew even more (as well as huge customers, like Samsung, HP, Evernote, Motorola, TeamViewer, Symantec, etc), but because it introduced better JS support through QuickJS.

IMHO, it is of extreme importance to add it since it performs (at least) an order of magnitude better than the other options which rely on a browser.

Hi! Thanks for the update :)

It's pretty difficult to get time and motivation for me to do more than updating dependencies once a month recently.
But if anyone wants to try and prepare a PR (at least the examples, and dependencies for the CI, I can configure the benchmark tool), that would be really helping 😄

If I get time and motivation, I think I need to spend some time working on this one and a few others to bring new libs to the benchmark :)

Thanks @Elanis! I will try to open a PR as soon as I can.

Thanks for your help :)
