Browser tests and rendezvous server

[litzenberger]

Where should the rendezvous server run? We have two options:

1. Run it on the controller VM but it looks like the latency when transferring files is included in the test.

2. Run it on the ARM bare metal machine using the npm install --global libp2p-websocket-star-rendezvousl but this will also take away from the tests cpu cycles.

Which is preferred?

Examples of when I run the rendezvous server local vs hosted in the cloud:
