Video Recording Of Tests

This is a beta, so please file bugs if you find any. This may not be stable.

Change log:

• Automatically record video of a running test
• Daily rolling logs for grid extras
• Adding /kill_safari end point to kill instance of Safari Browser
• Fixing the /kill_firefox endpoint, it was broken for some reason

Improved timeouts

• Modifying system timeouts, such as browser idle timeout, new session timeout, and grid status checking timeouts
  This should reduce situations where the grid console seems to hang not loading, and hub is forwarding new session to a node that has gone offline.
• When launching grid, use absolute path to java not just "java" alias which might not be declared in the PATH if you are using a Daemon (Non Windows OS only)

Bug Fix - Nodes not restarting on windows

• Fixed an issue where the node will attempt to reboot and will be stuck in an endless loop trying to kill safari and never rebooting. Fixing the issue by commenting out the kill browsers command and just sending a reboot command
