The Chrome-specific command line options (--auth-server-whitelist, --auth-negotiate-delegate-whitelist) were renamed since Chrome 101+. Replace the inline procedure with a prerequisite linking to the RHEL 9 Identity Management documentation, matching the pattern already used for Firefox instead of maintaining the option names.

Moreover, the IdM steps suggest to create a configuration file instead of launching Chrome with those options, so we shouldn't suggest something else.

What changes are you introducing?

Dropping Chrome options workaround for SSO auth in favor of IdM docs to be inline with Firefox procedure.

Why are you introducing these changes? (Explanation, links to references, issues, etc.)

See the commit message.

Anything else to add? (Considerations, potential downsides, alternative solutions you have explored, etc.)

An alternative would be just renaming these options to the actual ones.
