fix: re-write Chromium startup error with clear instructions (#3070)

This patch detects Chromium crash with a sandboxing error and re-writes
the error to surface information nicely.

#### Error Before:

================================
To workaround sandboxing issues, do either of the following:
  - (preferred): Configure environment to support sandboxing: https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/blob/master/docs/troubleshooting.md
  - (alternative): Launch Chromium without sandbox using 'chromiumSandbox: false' option
