[🚀 Feature]: Better compatibility with Appium

[mykola-mokhnach]

Feature and motivation

We would like to improve the compatibility between Appium and Selenium java clients. As the first step it would make sense to avoid using reflection to access various private properties of selenium classes and only rely on public or protected interfaces.

Usage example

Here is the list of changes needed to be done in order to enhance the compatibility:

Increase the scope of private properties of the below classes to 'protected':

RemoteWebDriver -> capabilities

HttpCommandExecutor -> commandCodec

HttpCommandExecutor -> responseCodec

FluentWait -> clock
FluentWait -> timeout
FluentWait -> interval
FluentWait -> sleeper
FluentWait -> ignoredExceptions
FluentWait -> messageSupplier
FluentWait -> input

Make public accessor for the property:

HttpCommandExecutor -> client

DriverService.Builder -> exe
