Description (last modified by Tom Forbes)

Currently runtests.py supports running Selenium tests using a local browser only. This can make running tests against specific versions quite hard.

Selenium supports a feature called 'hub': ​https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/docker-selenium/wiki/Getting-Started-with-Docker-Compose#python. This allows you to spin up multiple different browsers as docker containers, or connect to remote cloud-hosted ones.

A hub backed webdriver is compatible with a local one, so no tests need to be updated. A flag could be added to runtests.py specifying a hub URL, and then a WebDriver is created from that URL.

As part of this I had to extend the SeleniumTestCase to support being accessed externally.
