Description

Feature and motivation

Hi.
Please, add a feature to start some browser containers with SE_VNC_VIEW_ONLY and some without it. It could be useful for debug purposes.

Usage example

Something like to pass this parameter via Capability. For example: "se:vncViewOnly: [boolean]". Passing this parameter, container will be running using 'SE_VNC_VIEW_ONLY' or not.
SE_VNC_VIEW_ONLY in docker environment for node should override the one passed from code.

Research direction

Start by tracing how capabilities and the SE_VNC_VIEW_ONLY Docker environment setting are handled. Confirm the expected precedence between the capability and the environment variable, then verify that browser containers can be started in both view-only and normal modes. The issue provides no file or test names, so repository exploration is required.
