Configure browser capabilities through YAML

[danni]

Replace code configured webdrivers with a YAML config. Replace documentation with a standard initialize call.

YAML is neat because it makes it easier to set up multiple browser configs for running your tests, especially because YAML supports inheritance, so you can do a lot of defaulting.

This branch includes some fixes for the Django steps, and the onbeforeunload fix.

So, this depends on JQuery being installed in and exported by the target site. I'm not really comfortable making that a requirement for lettuce_webdriver; is there a better or easier way to do this?

Good point. We can do it through raw JS. Although I've never been clear how
the multiple ways to set/unset events interact with each other in different
browsers. I'll investigate.

We may also want to add a callback to selenium that checks on each page load to see if JQuery is exposed and, if it isn't, imports and exposes it...

So, having looked at this in depth. It looks non-trivial to make it work without jQuery. So we can either remove it completely, or just leave it there. If you don't have jQuery, it will become a no-op because the exception will be caught and ignored..

See SHA: 42ebae3 - I got fed up with not having JQuery Selectors available when writing tests using CSS selector steps, so I made a couple of utility functions to handle it. If you'd like to steal these, and incorporate them here, I think that would be a clear win.
