Get abrowser into Guix?

[kiasoc5]

Hi Guix,

There was talk a while ago about getting abrowser [1] into Guix [2].

Since IceCat and Firefox are now pretty close to each other in major
version (104 vs 105), now could be a good time to get abrowser into Guix.

(As for where the patches would come from, it would be a similar story
to the recent IceCat upgrade.)

A small correction: IceCat is at version 102.3.

I would love that.  I do use IceCat and plan to continue, but for some
web sites I need a more updated browser.

I can help testing.
