BrowserStack Provider

Following changes are made to the browserstack provider:

  1. On Every request from provider there was an explicit sleep introduced in the API call, which degraded the performance. Refactored code around that to improve the performance of provider.
  2. Bug around stopping testcafe session run in JS moded to send STOP two times.
  3. Provider is spawning BrowserStack Tunnel on its own at the startup of session, which add a significant time in starting of session and also gives less control to user around how it's tunnel is configured. Added a flag to provide capability to use same tunnel for different sessions so that significant time can be saved and more control for logging and configuration of binary.
  4. Currently for every capability, there is an associated environment variable. This is not a scalable approach as for every new capability we have to open a PR to add an environment variable related to that. So instead of using environment variable user can provider a path to JSON file to use for capability declaration. Prefrence would be given to the values of file over environment variable.
