[Bug]: playwright fail to start while using docker

[Jason Wu]

Version

1.44.0

Steps to reproduce

Just a simple java code

        Playwright playwright = Playwright.create();
        BrowserType chromium = playwright.chromium();
        BrowserType.LaunchOptions options = new BrowserType.LaunchOptions();
        options.setHeadless(true)
                .setSlowMo(5000)
                .setChromiumSandbox(false);
        Browser browser = chromium.launch(options);

Expected behavior

Boot successful.

Actual behavior

Caused by: com.microsoft.playwright.impl.TargetClosedError: Error {
  message='Target page, context or browser has been closed
Browser logs:
Chromium sandboxing failed!
================================
To workaround sandboxing issues, do either of the following:
  - (preferred): Configure environment to support sandboxing: https://playwright.dev/docs/troubleshooting
  - (alternative): Launch Chromium without sandbox using 'chromiumSandbox: false' option
================================

As the error message says "Running as root without --no-sandbox is not supported. See https://crbug.com/638180.". If you want to run without sandbox, you'll need launch docker with a regular user (our image has pwuser). Running with sandbox and a regular user will require configuring seccomp options.
