#41 Use WebDriverManager to manage the Webdriver

- Remove webdriverextensions-maven-plugin - Add dependency webdrivermanager -> Use WebDriverManager to manage the WebDriver binary files: Automatically downloads the latest driver (to ~/.m2/repository/webdriver) and sets the path to the driver binary --> WebDriverManager is more popular than webdriverextensions-maven-plugin, easier to use and independent of Maven --> webdriverextensions-maven-plugin does not seem to get updates anymore
