Description

What would you like?

Add browser troubleshooting information to https://docs.cypress.io/app/references/troubleshooting#Launching-browsers for the case of applied policy for Chromium-family browsers blocking the use of --remote-debugging-port causing a failure to test.

Why is this needed?

Cypress uses --remote-debugging-port with Chromium-based browsers including Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge. This can be blocked by policy external to Cypress, causing Cypress to be unable to connect to the related browser. The default is to allow remote debugging.
