We already implement the replacement so there is no change in functionality.

We're now using 103.0.2 in our fork of Gecko so use that also for maven builds. Update beta and nightly as well to the most recent versions that work. Apart from that we're replacing nightly by release as the default version to be used when using the maven precompiled packages.
This reverts commit b3f1438. This breaks builds as it does no longer picks the local build and always uses the maven one.

We're stuck on 9x's series of Gecko for some months now. After moving to 103.0.2 some of our downstream patches are not needed anymore (either because we've merged them or because the same issue was already fixed upstream).
The most important change from the user POV is that audio issues seem to be gone. Audio hiccups or even worst, the total lack of audio, was reported several times in some experiences. With Gecko 103.0.2 that improves dramatically. Experiences like
moonrider.xyzrun smoothly and without cuts now (we've run testing rounds of >1h without a single issue).There is just one con. Whenever GPU process is enabled (and Gecko has it now enabled by default) WebXR sessions do not work. In particular the code that retrieves the connected XR devices does not work and thus the WebXR API cannot be used. That's why we had to temporarily switch the GPU process off to get WebXR working.
