feat: compile the project against the nightly Selenium build

Now GA build contains two steps:
1. Build with Selenium 4.41.0-SNAPSHOT (the latest nightly build)
2. Build with Selenium 4.40.0 (currently stable version)

It will help to detect compatibility problems with the latest Selenium changes on an early stage.
