Embed HTML 5 games don't work on Firefox due to missing server headers in itch.io

Games exported from Godot use "SharedArrayBuffer", which has specific security requirements per the spec.

Specifically, these two headers need to be sent from the mini-sites hosted at itch.io that have HTML 5 games:

Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy: same-origin

Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy: require-corp

This is a super simple change that would improve the experience of users trying to play HTML 5 games on itch.io without them having to resort to use bloody Google Chrome to do so.

Let me know if this thread is in the right place.  I looked for "bug report" and this subforum was the only that seemed appropriate.

It’s great that Godot 4 web games work from the site, but it’s a shame this is still an issue for the itch app 2 years later :(
