Tested with commits 0ef72bf (previously working) and 9ae55ff

Steam simply logs:

steamwebhelper.sh[6094]: Starting steamwebhelper under bootstrap sniper steam runtime at /home/cmcging/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_64/steam-runtime-sniper

and tries to restart it once a minute or so. The "steamwebhelper, a critical Steam component, is not responding." dialog appears as well.

System: Ubuntu 23.10 on Pi 5

ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux#10560

ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux#10547

Looks like this is hitting a new trap inside of steamwebhelper. Trying to figure out what it is doing.

Removes steamwebhelper config

Fixes FEX-Emu#3479

As of the Steam update on Feb 29 2024, this is no longer necessary and
actually causes steamwebhelper to abort.

Steam has started using SLR to launch steamwebhelper, which already
passes in --no-sandbox. Adding this argument twice seemingly breaks the
application since it starts complaining that it doesn't understand the
argument and closes with a SIGABRT.

With this removed Steam starts working again.
