Pull request overview
Adds documentation explaining how to run browser-based tests against a Django live test server from a browser running on a different host/container (e.g., via Selenium Grid / Hub), using existing BehaviorDrivenTestCase extension points and --runner.
Changes:
- Adds a “Remote browsers and Selenium Hub” section to
docs/webbrowser.rst. - Documents subclassing
BehaviorDrivenTestCaseto overrideLiveServerTestCase.host/.port, and selecting it via--runner. - Includes a worked Splinter Remote WebDriver example and an
ALLOWED_HOSTSnote.

Add a "Remote browsers and Selenium Hub" section to the webbrowser docs showing how to subclass BehaviorDrivenTestCase with a custom host/port and select it via --runner. This is the pattern requested in #124 for driving the live server from a Selenium Hub or other out-of-host browser.
