Fixes #1445

This PR resolves the issue where SingleFile was not respecting Chrome user data directory and other Chrome launch options that work for other Chrome-based extractors (PDF, Screenshot, etc.).

Changes

Added SINGLEFILE_CHROME_ARGS config option with fallback to CHROME_ARGS
Updated SingleFile extractor to pass Chrome arguments via --browser-args
Updated documentation

This ensures SingleFile respects the same Chrome configuration as other Chrome-based extractors.

Generated with Claude Code
