Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/issues/981

I see there're WGET_ARGS and CURL_ARGS in config.py passed to corresponding binaries. But I don't find a way to customize the options passed to singlefile binary. Is there any way to do so?

As what I see in singlefile.py, the arguments passed to the executable are --browser-executable-path and --browser-args.
Maybe the only thing to do is to pass all available arguments in single-file? But I have no idea about how to implement it in a programmatic way since the available arguments are based on the version of single-file.

Ah sorry looks like we still need to add SINGLEFILE_ARGS and make sure it plays nicely with CHROME_ARGS. This will be a TODO for the next release. Contributors welcome.

Sub-tasks:

Add SINGLEFILE_ARGS to archivebox/config.py
Import and pass SINGLEFILE_ARGS to archivebox/extractors/singlefile.py run() call
Document SINGLEFILE_ARGS in https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/wiki/Configuration#dependency-options (and the other *_ARGS options while we're at it)
