Lighthouse: Launcher: Export a new option to toggle `disable-extensions`

[ragingwind]

Nowadays, disable-extensions is a default flag that doesn't allow me have a test for extension app. It might be useful that user can turn on / off the flag vi an option from outside when to test a chrome extension with lighthouse/chrome-launcher. I usually use a chrome while extension testing like this

/Applications/Chromium.app/Contents/MacOS/Chromium --app=file:///chrome-extension/extended/test/index.html --system-developer-mode --load-extensi
on=./test/extension

Does chromeFlags cover your use case?

No, it doesn't work well. disable-extensions flag might prevent to load extension following flags --load-extension=./test/extension

thanks for filing, @ragingwind! (and for creating chrome-launcher-cli!!)

maybe we expose a enableExtensions option on launcher? that seems pretty ok
