When swapping indexOf to includes I forgot to correct the order the conditional ternary operation. Now fixed.

Description
Added the ability to define a pool of many browser user agents in the environment file.
On each request a random user agent will get used from the defined pool.
The idea is to keep the bot more anonymized and harder to detect by having many user agents instead of just one.
It would be better to have each user agent separated by a line break, but sadly the version of dotenv doesn't support it yet?
Supported in:
https://github.com/bkeepers/dotenv#multi-line-values
But not in:
https://github.com/motdotla/dotenv
Example source for common user agents:

NOTICE
Breaking change duo to rename from USER_AGENT to USER_AGENTS in env file!
Maybe this feature could create an additional entry instead of rename or just use old name.
Testing
New dependencies
