Feature and motivation

Currently, the Java bindings do not allow to directly change the Selenium Manager configuration .
The only way to manage this configuration is to define environment variables at OS level (windows) or to use a configuration file.
Both approaches require initial manual configuration on every new machine/os. It requires to write/read additional guides, to execute additional steps by users, who need to execute tests locally (example: manual qa team)

The one of the solutions is to use Java's systems properties and pass them as environment variables into Selenium Manager process (only those, which have prefix 'SE_'
Anther solution is to find a way to pass a path to the custom configuration file (se-config.toml)

Usage example

For our project we want to make things simple: All required configuration should be initialized automatically by the framework code, without additional actions on the part of an inexperienced user who needs to run tests locally.
This avoids potential problems with incorrect configurations, as well as avoiding additional infrastructure maintenance steps (which basically is the main purpose of this library).

P.S>
The properties, which we require to configure:
--driver-mirror-url, --browser-mirror-url (to our local mirrors)
--force-browser-download to use CfT instead of local version (when versions are the same)
--ttl (1h is too little for our case - we want to avoid version switch when use qualifiers like 'stable'). Going to use this key with:
--cache-path : to have local project cache (for stable browser version during --ttl)

Seems that 2nd solution will not work, because in current implementation of Selenium Manager the location of se-config.toml is defined by cache-path. So I will not be able to change a cache-path from se-config.toml
