fix(docker): discover agent-browser Chromium binary at boot

Browse source 
The image's Dockerfile runs npx playwright install chromium, which
populates $PLAYWRIGHT_BROWSERS_PATH (=/opt/hermes/.playwright) with a
`chromium_headless_shell-<build>/chrome-headless-shell-linux64/` tree.
agent-browser (the runtime CLI Hermes spawns for the browser tool)
doesn't recognise this layout in its own cache scan and fails with
`Auto-launch failed: Chrome not found` — even though the binary is
right there.

Reproduction on current main:

    $ docker run --rm <image> sh -c 'npx -y agent-browser snapshot --url about:blank'
    ✗ Auto-launch failed: Chrome not found. Checked:
      - agent-browser cache: /tmp/.../.agent-browser/browsers
      - System Chrome installations
      - Puppeteer browser cache
      - Playwright browser cache
    Run `agent-browser install` to download Chrome, or use --executable-path.

Fix: at boot, locate the binary under $PLAYWRIGHT_BROWSERS_PATH and
export AGENT_BROWSER_EXECUTABLE_PATH via /run/s6/container_environment
so the with-contenv shebang on main-wrapper.sh propagates it into the
supervised `hermes` process and thence to agent-browser subprocesses.

Filename-matched (chrome / chromium / chrome-headless-shell /
chromium-browser), not path-matched: the chromium dir contains many
shared libraries (libGLESv2.so, libEGL.so, ...) which inherit the
executable bit from Playwright's tarball but are NOT browser binaries.
Compare PR #18635's earlier `find | grep -Ei 'chrome|chromium'` which
would match the path .../chrome-headless-shell-linux64/libGLESv2.so
and pick a .so as the browser binary.

User overrides (e.g. `-e AGENT_BROWSER_EXECUTABLE_PATH=/usr/bin/...`)
are respected — the discovery block is skipped when the env var is
already set. Quietly skipped when $PLAYWRIGHT_BROWSERS_PATH doesn't
exist (e.g. custom builds that strip Playwright).

This salvages PR #18635 by @jackey8616, who identified the bug and
proposed the same env-var approach but in the now-deprecated
docker/entrypoint.sh shim and with a path-match find command that
selected .so files instead of the chrome binary. The fix retargets
docker/stage2-hook.sh (the s6-overlay cont-init script where boot-time
env setup belongs) with a corrected filename-match query.

Fixes #15697
Closes #18635
