Pull Request

Add new crawlers:

• Puppeteer: Launch Chrome to load JavaScript. Useful for websites that require JavaScript to display content.
• Cheerio (default): Load only the raw HTML without JavaScript. This method is 18 times faster than the previous default.

Add new scrapers:

• Default: Extract page blocks one by one. Useful for content websites.
• Schema: Extract schema data from the meta description. Useful for e-commerce and media sites.
• Custom: Use selectors to extract data. Useful for highly personalized websites.
• Docsearch: Export a compatible version for Docsearch. Useful for older documents.
• Markdown: Export all page content as a single markdown file. Useful for LLMs.

Add some test and benchmarks: yarn run tests
