Webicity

Webicity is a simple web browser that I am working on (it is unfinished).

Webicity consists of multiple components:

• Webicity browser: A graphical UI for Webicity, so that users can actually use Webicity.
• Webicity: Responsible for rendering content.
• Thready: Provides a GUI component system, and interfaces with the preferred drawing system.
• Thready web extensions: Part of Webicity. Allows for rendering web pages with Thready.
• EcmaSpiral Engine: An experimental Javascript runtime. Not yet attached to the main codebase.

Thanks to @Minecraftian14, @PiotrJagla and @shabman for helping!
