chromium: Update the documentation
And close #78450 because I'm maintaining Chromium for approximately one year now and it looks like I can keep maintaining it (at least as long as I have enough time for it). I'm also working on the documentation, automation, and cleanups so finding a new maintainer in the future should hopefully be easier.

- If you just want to help out without becoming a maintainer:

- Look for open Nixpkgs issues or PRs related to Chromium

|
||||
- Note: We could always use more contributors, testers, etc. E.g.:
|

- A dedicated maintainer for the NixOS stable channel
|

- PRs with cleanups, improvements, fixes, etc. (but please try to make reviews

as easy as possible)
