Fix Opera Linux libffmpeg & WidevineCdm

• Fixes Opera html5 media content including DRM-protected one.
• This script must be executed all times opera fails on showing html5 media content.
• On Debian-based, RedHat-based and Arch-based distributions it could be started automatically after Opera each update or reinstall.
• Works only with native versions of Opera. Won't work with flatpak/snap releses.
• May not work with opera-beta and opera-develper.

Requirements

1. curl (is needed for downloading the ffmpeg lib and widevine)

   unzip (is needed for unpacking the downloaded file)

   git (is needed for fetching this script)

   jq (is needed for parsing JSON from github)

2. (Optional) python3-dnf-plugin-post-transaction-actions (is needed for autoupdate in RedHat-based systems)

   The main installer - install.sh - auto-detects your distro and installs the both the appropriate and the optional requirements by itself, if they're missing.
