Opera 87+: Webdriver connection fails due to wrong "Browser" data in /json/version

[pbi-qfs]

Upon start, the operadriver/chromedriver checks the devtools endpoint /json/version to get the current browser version.

From Opera 87 on, this field has the constant value "1.0.0", instead of "Chrome/101.0.4951.54", an the driver start crashes due to "Version 1.0.0 not supported (due to this check).

Until Opera 86, the version is correct:

{
   "Browser": "Chrome/100.0.4896.127",
   "Protocol-Version": "1.3",
   "User-Agent": "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/100.0.4896.127 Safari/537.36 OPR/86.0.4363.59",
   ...   }

From version 87 on, the value is wrong:

{
  "Browser": "1.0.0",
  "Protocol-Version": "1.3",
  "User-Agent": "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/101.0.4951.54 Safari/537.36 OPR/87.0.4390.21 (Edition beta)",   
  ... 
}

This effectively prohibits any Opera testing using the Webdriver protocol (including Selenium 3 and 4).
