Description

### What Happened?

The [Epiphany issue template](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/epiphany/-/issues/new) at gitlab.gnome.org currently requests the following information:

> * Epiphany version (from About Web in the main menu):
> * WebKitGTK version (from About Web -> Troubleshooting -> Debugging Information):
> * Distributor (Linux operating system, Flathub, Epiphany Tech Preview, etc.):

Because the "About Web" menu item was removed in this flatpak, we're unable to get to `About Web -> Troubleshooting -> Debugging Information`.

### Steps to Reproduce

1. Open the "Web" app
2. Open the main menu (cog wheel), and look for "About Web".

### Expected Behavior

We should, at least, be able to get to the debugging information. The CLI doesn't expose it.

```
$ flatpak run org.gnome.Epiphany -h
Usage:
epiphany [OPTION?] URL ?

Help Options:
-h, --help Show help options

Application Options:
--new-window Open a new browser window instead of a new tab
-l, --load-session=FILE Load the given session state file
-i, --incognito-mode Start an instance with user data read-only
-p, --private-instance Start a private instance with separate user data
-a, --application-mode Start a private instance in web application mode
--automation-mode Start a private instance for WebDriver control
--profile=DIR Custom profile directory for private instance
--search
```

### OS Version

8.x (Circe)

### OS Architecture

amd64 (on most hardwares)

### Session Type

Secure Session (Wayland, This is the default)

### Software Version

Latest release (I have run all updates)

### Log Output

```shell

```
