The higher-level issue is that we need to make sure chrome is available for rendering screenshots but we don't want to have to have the end-user manually add the playwright dependency for development/prerendering. This is a minor DX improvement but one that I was interesting in exploring. (Waiting for all playwright binaries to install is painful)
Previously we just always installed chrome to make sure it was available. Instead, we introduce a new chromium binding called 'on-demand' that will install the dependency using npx when chrome is being used.
We also move the separate ways of using chromium to individual bindings, this should allow quicker og image generation as well as we don't need to use hacks around dynamic imports of modules.
