kodi: More robust handling of kodi webserver assets

This adds a backport of
https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/commit/a6dedce7ba1f03bdd83b019941d1e369a06f7888
to Kodi 19.4 Matrix. This can be removed once a new release of Kodi comes
out and we upgrade to it.

What's nice about this approach is that it doesn't special case
webinterface.default. I've never actually tried using a non-default web
interface with Kodi, but I bet it wouldn't have worked before this
change, and I think it would work after this change =)

See and
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/152675#issuecomment-1003442175 and
https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=366338&pid=3079493 for some
discussion about this approach.
