We can make it configurable by performing the following changes:

- Add a switch control in the configure dialog labeled 'Disable
GPU hardware acceleration'. By default its value is False.
- Will create a config option in "runtime_config.json" like other
options port, timeout, etc...
- When the user would like to disable the GPU, they will update
the switch control and it needs a restart of pgAdmin anyway.
- We will update the *package.json* file like "chromium-args":
"--disable-popup-blocking
--disable-gpu", and restart the pgAdmin.

If the above seems OK then @Nikhil you can start working on the above
changes.
