Helloooo, and happy April Fools, folks!

As you know, we have a long history with a package called 'chromium-browser-bin', [1] which provides the Chromium Continuous builds that are essentially (to some degree) automatically tested Chromium Snapshot builds [2] [3]. It has now come under my maintainership, and undergone some major changes, but the final obstacle remains the most important piece: the very name of the package.

This concerns 'chromium-nightly' [4] as well, which provides the aforementioned Chromium Snapshots.

My personal pool of suggestions is as follows:

- chromium-continuous
- chromium-continuous-bin
- chromium-nightly
- chromium-nightly-bin (only 3 packages follow this scheme [5])
- chromium-snapshot
- chromium-snapshot-bin

I would preferer omitting the '-bin', but I understand, if people feel that it's important to point out.
