- Added process monitoring in ManagedBrowser to detect and log unexpected terminations of the browser subprocess.
- Updated Docker configuration to expose port 9222 for remote debugging and allocate extra shared memory to prevent browser crashes.
- Improved error handling and resource cleanup for browser instances, particularly in Docker environments.
Resolves Issue #256

This commit updates the Dockerfile to install Crawl4AI with the specified options. The `INSTALL_OPTION` build argument is used to determine which additional packages to install. If the option is set to "all", all models will be downloaded. If the option is set to "torch", only torch models will be downloaded. If the option is set to "transformer", only transformer models will be downloaded. If no option is specified, the default installation will be used. This change improves the flexibility and customization of the Crawl4AI installation process.
Set the `image_size` variable to 0 in the `get_content_of_website_optimized` function to temporarily disable fetching the image file size. This change addresses performance issues and will be improved in a future update.
