Tommy Rantti b7ad3a9b8c Add remote-chromium.sh and install waypipe in setup-local.sh
Runs Chromium on the home machine with its window drawn on the travel
laptop, so logged-in browser accounts stay on the home machine. Closes
any running instance first, since Chromium's one-process-per-profile
lock would otherwise open the window on the home machine's own screen.
