Control a fullscreen web browser using Elixir for use in a kiosk.

@doc """
Start the kiosk.
The kiosk starts fullscreen and goes to a default local web page. To change
this, set one or more options:
* `background_color: color` - specify a background color as #RRGGBB or by name
* `blank_image: path` - specify a path to an image for when the screen is blanked
* `fullscreen: boolean` - show fullscreen
* `homepage: url` - load this page first. For local files, specify `file:///path/to/index.html`
* `opengl: "gl" | "gles" | "software" | "auto"` - specify the OpenGL backend. This is only a hint.
* `progress: boolean` - show a progress bar when loading pages
* `sounds: boolean` - play sounds on clicks
Untested:
* `monitor: index` - select the monitor for the webbrowser (0, 1, etc.)
* `clear_cache: boolean`
* `proxy_enable: boolean` - enable/disable proxy support
* `proxy_system: ` -
* `proxy_host: hostname` - the host to connect to for using a proxy
* `proxy_port: port` - the port to connect to on the proxy
* `proxy_username: username` - a username for the proxy
* `proxy_password: password` - a password for the proxy
* `stay_on_top: boolean` -
* `window_clicked_sound: url` - a sound to play when the window is clicked
* `link_clicked_sound: url` - a sound to play when a link is clicked
* `hide_cursor: boolean` - show or hide the mouse pointer
* `javascript: boolean` - enable or disable Javascript support
* `javascript_can_open_windows: boolean` - allow Javascript to open windows
* `debug_menu: boolean` - enable a menubar for debugging
* `width: pixels` - when not fullscreen, the window is this width
* `height: pixels` - when not fullscreen, the window is this height
* `uid: uid` - run the browser as this user
* `gid: gid` - run the browser with this group id
