[🚀 Feature]: Helm Chart does not support Selenium Grid Basic Auth

[trungprivate]

Feature and motivation

When enabling selenium grid basic auth (by using ROUTER_USERNAME and ROUTER_PASSWORD) the autoscaling feature is not working - no nodes will get created.

Upon investigation, it was found chrome|edge|firefox.node.hpa.url is set to {{ include "seleniumGrid.graphqlURL" . }} which does not include the username/password required for basic auth.

I made a hacky change to prove this by changing chromenode.hpa.url to "http://username:password@selenium-hub:4444/graphql" which worked.

This is not ideal, and I'd like to ask if the template can be updated to support basic auth username and password in the hpa url.

Usage example

1. Allow global variables to be specified for hub username / password
2. If a username/password is specified, automatically pass these as environment variables to selenium hub
3. If a username/password is specified, automatically update the hpa.url to include basic auth credentials
