multimedia/kodi: New maintainer.

Take over maintainence.

Larry has not responded to several email messages and it seems no
others have been able to reach him as well.

Remove shairplay from REQUIRES as it's optional.

Add README on python issues.

There have been issues with kodi addons causing kodi to crash. It
has been determined that the problem is with python3 including the
version that was released with 15.0 and continues through 3.9.12
(the latest patch). This has been fixed in 3.9.13, but that updated
version hasn't made it to 15.0 yet. The README.python contains
instructions on how users can upgrade their python3 package until
Pat releases a patch. The instructions will also be saved in the
program's /usr/doc directory.
