Lightpanda updates iframe loading behavior and configuration flags

Lightpanda has updated its behavior so that lazy-loaded iframes no longer hold up a page's load event, ensuring automations don't unnecessarily wait on unneeded content. The update also introduces new configuration flags: --disable-subframes to skip loading all iframes entirely, and --v8-max-heap-mb to configure the maximum V8 heap size.

// ANALYSIS

This update significantly improves the efficiency and control for web scraping and browser automation tasks using Lightpanda.

–Lazy-loaded iframes no longer block the page load event, speeding up automations.
–The `--disable-subframes` flag allows developers to completely bypass iframe loading for further performance gains.
–The `--v8-max-heap-mb` flag offers granular control over memory usage by configuring the V8 heap size.
