Add way to set custom folder for storing web drivers (Eg. chromedriver, uc_driver)
Currenly, the default folder for storing web drivers is the seleniumbase/drivers folder from the location where the seleniumbase Python package is installed.
I'm going to add a way to modify the storage location like this:
from seleniumbase.core import browser_launcher
browser_launcher.override_driver_dir("./temp")Those lines could be added to an __init__.py file to affect the driver location for all scripts.
Or those lines could be added directly into a SeleniumBase script itself near the top of the file.
(That'll work as long as the call happens before the driver is downloaded, once this ticket is done.)
If the driver folder is set to one that doesn't already exist, it'll print an error message similar to this:
* Warning: Cannot set driver_dir to nonexistent directory:
~/github/SeleniumBase/examples/cdp_mode/temp
* Will use the default folder instead:
~/github/SeleniumBase/seleniumbase/drivers
Therefore, if people want to set a custom driver dir, they should make sure the folder already exists.
