The [browsertrix-crawler] utility is a browser-based crawler that can crawl one or more pages. browsertrix-crawler creates archives in the [WACZ] format which is essentially a standardized ZIP file (similar to DOCX, EPUB, JAR, etc) which can then be replayed using the [ReplayWeb.page] web component, or unzipped to get the original WARC data (the ISO standard format used by the Internet Archive Wayback Machine). This PR adds browsertrix-crawler to archiver classes where screenshots are made made. The WACZ is uploaded to storage and then added to a new column in the spreadsheet. A column can be added that will display the WACZ, loaded from cloud storage (S3, digitalocean, etc) using the client side ReplayWeb page. You can see an example of the spreadsheet here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Tk-iJWzT9Sx2-YccuPttL9HcMdZEnhv_OR7Bc6tfeu8/edit#gid=0 browsertrix-crawler requires Docker to be installed. If Docker is not installed an error message will be logged and things continue as normal.
