Summary
Add CloakBrowser as a stealth browser option in the "Avoid getting blocked" guide, alongside Camoufox. This mirrors the same change already merged in crawlee-python#1794.
CloakBrowser ships a custom Chromium binary with fingerprints modified at the C++ source level, rather than through JavaScript injection. Chromium-based, which can matter when a target site behaves differently with Firefox.
