[Feature]: create a puppeteer-lite package

[casesolved-co-uk]

Feature description

When using puppeteer, both a chrome and chrome-headless-shell browser are downloaded which take up 356MB and 189MB respectively, i.e. more than 0.5GB of space.

It would be brilliant for headless applications to have a puppeteer-lite package that only includes chrome-headless-shell.

If there is a simple way to do this in yarn by including puppeteer-core and some other command I would be interested to hear.

You can set the env var PUPPETEER_SKIP_CHROME_DOWNLOAD to true (or the config option skipChromeDownload) to only download the headless shell. For the opposite, there is a PUPPETEER_SKIP_CHROME_HEADLESS_SHELL_DOWNLOAD variable.

Alternatively, you can use puppeteer-core and @puppeteer/browsers to manage the browser downloads.
