Add archivebox persona create/list/update/delete commands
Support --import=chrome|firefox|brave to copy browser profile

Fix JSDoc comment parsing issue in chrome_utils.js

Summary by cubic

Adds a new persona CLI to manage browser profiles for archiving, with one-step import from Chrome/Firefox/Brave and automatic cookies.txt generation via CDP. Enables authenticated, headless archiving without manual cookie exports, and hardens persona management with strict path validation to prevent traversal.

New Features
- New command: archivebox persona create/list/update/delete
- --import=chrome|firefox|brave copies the default browser profile into the persona
- Extracts cookies via CDP and writes Netscape cookies.txt per persona
- JSONL I/O for list/update/delete with filters, limit, dry-run, and --yes
- Detects browser profiles on macOS/Linux/Windows
Bug Fixes
- Added input validation and path safety to block path traversal in create/rename/delete
- Fixed JSDoc comment in chrome_utils.js to prevent parsing issues

^{Written for commit 3659adeb7e. Summary will update on new commits.}
