Keep computers' browser sessions across restarts and recreates

Each computer's Chrome profile now lives on the data volume (DATA_DIR/computer-browsers/<id>, mounted at ~/.cobble-browser) and Chrome is pointed at it with --user-data-dir. The sandbox image resets its own profile's preferences to session-only cookies on every boot, which signed every site out whenever Chrome exited. New profiles are seeded with the image's preferences minus that rule, stale Singleton links are removed before each provision, and existing computers are recreated once (skipped while a job runs on them).
