Document limitations of ./wpt serve / "Running Tests from the Web" explicitly #48641

Description

1 links to 2 which mentions

"Not all tests can be executed in-browser, as some tests rely on automation (e.g. via testdriver.js) that is not available when running a browser in a normal user session."

One can try to reason which features aren't available in a normal user session, but listing them explicitly saves that effort.
This helps distinguishing actual bugs from technical limitations.
