Remove Chromedriver as a JavaScript dependency

Problem/Motivation

We ship with Chromedriver 98 but Chromedriver 107 is out.

The JavaScript Chromedriver is only used by local Nightwatch tests if the environment variable DRUPAL_TEST_CHROMEDRIVER_AUTOSTART is set. This is not documented anywhere.

I am also fairly sure that Chromedriver needs to be close to your local version of Chrome for things to work properly. As we are shipping with Chromedriver 98 and Chrome 107 is currently out, I suspect nobody is using this feature. If someone does want to use this, it should be their responsibility to install a local Chromedriver that matches their version of Chrome.
