ci: debug chromedriver

[straker]

Chromedriver is constantly failing with what I believe is the v146 update (both axe-core and axe-core-npm are now failing constantly to create chromedriver sessions). Adding verbose logging so I can see what's going on.

No QA required

I tried adding verbose logging to selenium-webdriver using enableVerboseLogging() and loggingTo() a file, but the verbose logs just show chrome failing to start with message: RESPONSE InitSession ERROR session not created: Chrome instance exited. Examine ChromeDriver verbose log to determine the cause. which isn't helpful because these are the logs.... Looking around the web and no one has reported anything about 146 causing problems yet.

Also tried to add disable-dev-shim and disable-gpu but those didn't do anything either.

Closing since this isn't showing anything we can work with.
