[💡 Feature]: Support for Grid Managed Downloads

[isc-aray]

Is your feature request related to a problem?

No

Describe the solution you'd like.

WebdriverIO should support the use of Selenium Grid manged downloads.

Describe alternatives you've considered.

I'm not aware of any alternatives for fetching files downloaded onto remote workers.

Additional context

Selenium Grid version 4.8 introduced support for Manged Download, which allows the Grid to pull files from the remote browser worker to the client using a new downloadFile operation. The feature is described at [https://www.selenium.dev/documentation/webdriver/drivers/remote_webdriver/#downloads].

Hey @isc-aray , thanks for raising the issue.

I totally agree with you, I haven't seen this commands yet but they should be added in packages/wdio-protocols/src/protocols/selenium.ts. Furthermore we should verify that tests run on the Selenium grid are detected as such and the protocol commands are applied accordingly. Any contribution on this would be appreciated.
