Upgrade selenium-webdriver to support headless mode

See original GitHub issue

Bug report

Today actual version of protractor use selenium-webdriver 3.0.1 that doesn’t support run chrome on headless mode, can we update to selenium-webdriver latest version 3.4.0?

As described on error, selenium-webdriver provide chromeDriver on version 2.20, but only version 2.3 support the headless mode of chrome.

https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2017/04/headless-chrome ChromeDriver 2.3.0 supports Chrome 59 and later and works with headless Chrome. In some cases, you may need Chrome 60 to work around bugs.
