Chromium cold-start dominates render time on low-resource devices like the Pi Zero. Add flags that disable first-run setup, background networking, sync, default apps, component updates and unneeded features to reduce browser launch overhead for one-shot screenshots.

Pull request overview
This PR reduces Chromium cold-start overhead for one-shot, headless screenshots (notably on constrained devices like a Raspberry Pi Zero) by adding startup-trimming CLI flags to the screenshot invocation path.
Changes:
- Adds Chromium flags to skip first-run/default-browser prompts and reduce background networking/sync/default-app/component-update work.
- Disables specific Chromium features (Translate, BackForwardCache) to further minimize startup work for screenshot-only usage.
