Marp CLI has been already supported out of the box conversion in WSL 1, but WSL 2 is not yet supported. (marp-team/marp#113) This PR introduces the out of the box conversion in WSL 2 with "mirrored network mode".
WSL 1 shares the network with Windows. Puppeteer can communicate with browser's remote debug that is binding to the localhost port. On the other hand, WSL 2 has a separated NAT network from Windows by default, so it is difficult to communicate WSL 2 with Windows.
If configured WSL 2 to enable "mirroed network mode", WSL 2 will become to share the network interface with Windows as same as WSL 1. In this mode, we have confirmed that Puppeteer for Chrome can communicate with the process on the Windows host.
Marp CLI's browser finder will become to resolve the Chrome/Edge from the host if the mirrored networking mode was enabled and the suitable browser was not found in WSL Linux.
