Odyssey web browser, and AROS ABIv0 32bit update

Just days ago, two very welcome updates have been released.

The WWW is big, and Amiga/AROS web browsers are rare. One of said updates is a new version of web browser Odyssey, for AROS ABIv0 32bit. (This is the initial x86 i386 flavor of AROS which is probably running on most computers running AROS.) Among the new features is the updated rendering engine (WebKit), and a new media player with hardware acceleration, which enables Odyssey to playback YouTube videos (again).

The other of said updates is Krzysztof 'deadwood' Smiechowicz's second update ("20220318-1-U2") to AROS ABIv0 32bit 20220318-1, which is required by the new version Odyssey. It contains changes backported from the more modern (still somewhat experimental) ABIv1 branch of AROS.
