[Bug 1736620] [NEW] graphviz: Disable gtk support?

Public bug reported:

libgvc6-plugins-gtk is one of the last dozen things to keep gtk2 in
main.

libgvc6-plugins-gtk has only one reverse dependency in Debian and Ubuntu
: libgraphviz-dev

There are a few ways to fix this problem:

1. Port graphviz' gtk support to gtk3, or
2. Disable gtk support in graphviz, or
3. There's a hack where we could drop libgraphviz-dev from the supported seed.

For reference, the bug requesting that graphviz be built with gtk
support is LP: #163142

** Affects: graphviz (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
