Provide a screenshot and describe the bug

With the current default settings, Chrome will hang trying to save https://www.rover.com/. This is triggered by the --virtual-time-budget=15000 argument. Removing this argument allows chrome to archive the DOM as desired.

However, there's a pathological case here! When we hang forever trying to save Rover.com, it causes the persona to get locked. ArchiveBox times out the action and moves on to the next one which runs into the singleton file and fails. As mentioned in https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/issues/1599#issuecomment-2495062208, this pathological case would go away if we used a temp personal directory each time.

I think this was added to work around full page screenshot issues. I just wanted to share this example in case this is a more common problem and maybe the default would be reconsidered. I'm not arguing one way or another, but it's probably worth tracking how many websites hit this issue.

Steps to reproduce

1. `docker run -it -v $PWD/data:/data archivebox/archivebox:dev init --setup`
2. `docker run -it -v $PWD/data:/data archivebox/archivebox:dev manage createsuperuser`
3. `docker run -it -p 8000:8000 -v $PWD/data:/data archivebox/archivebox:dev server`
4. Archive https://www.rover.com/

if we used a temp personal directory each time

Already started building this! The new archivebox/personas app is a dedicated app to handle creating "template" chrome profiles that get copied to a unique tmp dir each time a new chrome instance is launched. Should solve the SingletonLock issue completely if it works.

I'm also planning on removing the --virtual-time-budget=15000 arg completley as it's caused other issues in the past
