feat(restart-browsers): quit and reopen browsers nightly

Browse Source 
The plist was a copy of homebrew-update, label included, so launchd
never loaded it as a job of its own. Replace it with an osascript job
that runs at 1:00 am and, for each of Chrome, Vivaldi and Floorp that
is running, quits it the way Cmd-Q does, waits up to a minute for it
to exit, then reopens it in the background. A browser held open by a
quit prompt is left alone and logged.

Quits each running browser the way Cmd-Q does, waits up to a minute for

quit prompt is left alone. The first run asks for permission to control
each browser (System Settings > Privacy & Security > Automation).
