Can be detected by WebGL in headless mode #2

As of now WebGL not supported in headless mode see https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-js/issues/5460. To evade add const browser = await puppeteer.launch({headless: false})

I did write a test for this....

```js // thx https://github.com/Modernizr/Modernizr/blob/master/feature-detects/webgl.js await test('WebGL unavailable', _ => { const canvas = document.createElement('canvas'); const probablySupports = 'probablySupportsContext'; const supports = probablySupports in canvas ? probablySupports : 'supportsContext'; if (supports in canvas) { return (canvas[supports]('webgl') || canvas[supports]('experimental-webgl')) === false; } return ('WebGLRenderingContext' in window) === false; }); ```

... but as it turns out, headless is now supported in headless: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=617551

so this technique won't work any longer.
