Apparently yr.no has discontinued it's old API and a new one is
available from met.no.

The changes needed are in libgweather and has been done for
libgweather 40.x releases upstream. The changes includes atleast
one API change which possibly makes it not possible to simply update
libgweather.

Here are a bunch of commits to look closer at:
