Why not upgrade the main build, drop 32-bit support, then add a
obs-studio-legacy that's the old version (doesn't have to support
64-bit, even).

It'd be better to avoid that. I mean technically it would work, but it
might confuse some of the tools people use (including the stuff the CI
uses to test-build packages before they're approved).
