This package[1] is a replacement for the old phantomjs-integration[2]
which is practically EOL. It is basically used to render PNGs of panels
that triggered an alert in Grafana.
This package internally uses `puppeteer`[3] to control a headless
Chromium instance. Even though puppeteer recommends to use a fixed
revision of `chromium`, I checked that our default `pkgs.chromium` works
fine as well. Also, I don't think it's a good idea to use outdated
browser versions[4].
I used the latest revision from `master` on purpose since compiling the
code with `tsc` from `v2.0` didn't work and I couldn't figure out why.

[4] currently, puppeteer v2.0.0 is used which recommends revision 706915
(v79.0.3945.130).
I used the existing anchors generated by Docbook, so the anchor part
should be a no-op. This could be useful depending on the
infrastructure we choose to use, and it is better to be explicit than
rely on Docbook's id generating algorithms.
I got rid of the metadata segments of the Markdown files, because they
are outdated, inaccurate, and could make people less willing to change
them without speaking with the author.
This check helps with making sure that we provide all the required
shared libraries to brave. If something is missing, the command will get
ENOENT, otherwise it should terminate normally.
Darwin requires qtmacextra in the buildInputs, otherwise compilation
fails with:
