About

Installs woolyss based all-codecs+ Chromium binaries for the
current platform and returns the path to the executable that was
downloaded.

Why

Chromium by default (that comes with puppeteer, for example)
does not support licensed codecs such as h264 and AAC which
makes it unable to play these media files (e.g. unable to play
certain YouTube videos).

For who?

I wanted to play media files that used h264 and/or aac through
puppeteer which its default bundled Chromium wasn't able to do.

How

Basically mimic the way puppeteer downloads/installs
binaries and replace the url's with woolyss url's for the
all-codecs+ prebuilt binaries.
