Chrome app already existing on Macbook breaks gu-base #22

When does the issue occur

Setting up a new Macbook and running brew cask install guardian/devtools/gu-base

What happens

Homebrew errors and exits early due to Chrome already existing as part of the dev build:

Error: It seems there is already an App at '/Applications/Google Chrome.app'.

Since Chrome is one of the first applications to install, this means Homebrew does not get to the good stuff, such as IntelliJ or iTerm2 😢

I've 'fixed' this by removing chrome from the cask 😄
