Switch to privileged LXC + LXQt desktop + Google Chrome

Browse Source 
Replace unprivileged LXC/XFCE/Chromium setup with privileged LXC, LXQt
desktop, and Google Chrome to support the OpenClaw browser extension
(developer mode). Removes --no-sandbox workaround and XFCE desktop icon
trust mechanism, adds Chrome .deb install and browser extension setup.

**Chromium won't launch?**
The script patches this automatically. If you installed Chromium separately:
```bash
sed -i 's|Exec=/usr/bin/chromium|Exec=/usr/bin/chromium --no-sandbox|g' /usr/share/applications/chromium.desktop
