HOTFIX webdriver_manager after changes in google chromedrivers APIs

Fixes #536 wdm issue by patching wdm of 3.8.6 version to workaround the following error:

ValueError: There is no such driver by url https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/LATEST_RELEASE_115.0.5790

This hotfix is really hot:), so might break something. Use it on your own risk.
If something went wrong, roll back to 2.0.0rc2.

If you don't use Selene, feel free to copy the patch, adapt it for your liking and use to fix wdm at your context.

In Selene we also froze webdriver_manager version to 3.8.6, so it will not be updated automatically and our hotfix will not be broken :D. Let's see how it goes further... One day we hope to remove hotfix and unfreeze webdriver_manager version.

Should work for new versions of Chrome from v115 out of the box.

If you use webdriver_manager on your own, you can do the following trick to patch it with the fix:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager
from webdriver_manager.core.utils import ChromeType

from selene import support

chrome_driver = webdriver.Chrome(
    service=Service(
        support._extensions.webdriver_manager.patch._to_find_chromedrivers_from_115(
            ChromeDriverManager(chrome_type=ChromeType.GOOGLE)
        ).install()
    )
)

Notice underscore prefixes in module and patch function names at _extensions.webdriver_manager.patch._to_find_chromedrivers_from_115. Use it on your own risk, as it is marked as private and experimental;).

Remember that currently on macOS the fix itself might not be enough, for Chrome versions less than 117, you probably will have to install Chrome for Testing browser instead of Chrome and fix it with xattr -cr 'Google Chrome for Testing.app' command. An alternative to installing Chrome for Testing, can be setting binary location manually via:

from selene import browser
from selenium import webdriver

browser.config.driver_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
browser.config.driver_options.binary_location = '/Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome'
