Support connection to remote browser

See original GitHub issue

It is a proposal.

Current behavior:

Currently, all browsers for Cypress runner should be installed on the same host (or same container). It makes it hard to have custom setups in complex projects with a lot of services connected via Docker.

Desired behavior:

Support possibility to connect to remote Chrome browser via WS, running locally or in the container.

For example, when using e2e testing with Jest + Puppeteer setup, I can use a separate Chrome container and just set a remote chrome address in config.

connect: {
    browserURL: 'http://127.0.0.1:9222'
}

Steps to reproduce: (app code and test code)

There is no such option yet.

Versions

Cypress 3.8.0
