selenium

Sets up a selenium server running via xvfb and optionally installs firefox and chrome. Everything will be setup pretty automatically, because there are some version restrictions to which selenium server versions runs best on which jdk and operating system. Selenium server since version 3 requires jdk 8 and the geckodriver for running firefox. The geckodriver only fully supports firefox versions 48 and above. All rhel based distributions (like centos) only run firefox 45.x and jdk 7, but can't be easily upgraded (depdencies with gtk3 etc...). Following setups are supported right now:

	Firefox	Chrome	Selenium	JDK
Ubuntu 12.04, 14.04, 16.04	latest via apt		3.x	8
Debian 8	latest via mozilla repo		3.x	8
Centos 6/7	45.x via official repo		2.53.1	7

If additional setups are needed, open an issue.
