Chris Farhood 1909c2a3aa fix: make Chrome work inside Docker for Claude OAuth browser login
Chrome requires --no-sandbox and --disable-dev-shm-usage when running
inside a Docker container, otherwise it crashes silently and the OAuth
popup never completes.

- Add a /usr/local/bin/google-chrome wrapper that injects these flags
- Install xdg-utils so xdg-open can resolve browser handlers in VNC
- Set BROWSER env var to the wrapper so Claude Code and xdg-open both
  use it when opening the Claude Max login URL

The OAuth callback (to localhost) works fine inside VNC because both
the browser and the Claude Code local auth server share the same
container network namespace.
