This change allows mycoder to detect and use system-installed browsers instead of requiring Playwright's bundled browsers to be installed. It improves the experience when mycoder is installed globally via npm. - Add BrowserDetector module for cross-platform browser detection - Update SessionManager to use detected system browsers - Add configuration options for browser preferences - Update documentation in README.md - Maintain compatibility with headless mode and clean sessions Fixes #333

Description
This PR adds system browser detection for Playwright integration in mycoder. It allows mycoder to detect and use system-installed browsers instead of requiring Playwright's bundled browsers to be installed separately. This is particularly useful when mycoder is installed globally via npm.
Changes
BrowserDetectormodule for cross-platform browser detection (Windows, macOS, Linux)SessionManagerto use detected system browsers via Playwright'sexecutablePathoptionmycoder.config.jsfor browser preferencesTesting

Fixes #333
Additional Notes
The implementation prioritizes Chrome/Chromium browsers as they have the best compatibility with Playwright, followed by Firefox. The browser detection is done at startup and cached for subsequent browser sessions.
