Experimental Dirac CLI

Chrome has had support for --custom-devtools-frontend for quite some time. This allows launching Chrome and pointing it to alternative sources for DevTools. This has advantage in that Dirac can be launched with the same priviledges in place of internal (bundled) DevTools.

When I started Dirac project this option was not available and that is why I implemented Dirac as a hosted web app in Chrome Extension. Recently I decided to bite the bullet and finally to take advantage of this new workflow.

Unfortunately it is not very convenient to launch Chrome with --custom-devtools-frontend=/path/to/dirac by hand because you still have to keep track of Dirac versions and use compatible Dirac with your particular Chrome version. That is why I'm introducing a new CLI tool dirac which should help with that and hopefully provide much smoother Dirac experience.

Please read about Dirac CLI and consider this experimental feature. Also note that the old workflow with Chrome Extension still works and I'm not planning to remove it.
