Pages can now be opened in a chromeless "kiosk" mode by appending a
truthy kiosk query parameter to the URL (kiosk=true, kiosk=1,
kiosk=yes, kiosk=on, …; matching is case-insensitive). In kiosk mode
the main-menu navigation and the snapin sidebar are not rendered and
the page content fills the full viewport, which is useful for embedding
Checkmk on wall displays or inside other applications.
The existing Display → Show page navigation flip switch now drives
this behavior: toggling it off adds kiosk=true to the current URL,
toggling it on removes the parameter. The parameter is automatically
carried over to in-page links, so a user staying inside kiosk mode does
not lose it when navigating.
