(cherry picked from commit e5deca679c)
* [ftr] remove digdug, use chromedriver directly
why?
- digdug is meant to be used by intern, and expects a certain lifecycle that the FTR has tried and continuously fails to mimic
- rather than continue trying to force digdug into the stack, just spawn chromedriver ourselves. We know how to handle it
- cleans up verbose remote logging while we're in there, since selenium-standalone-server went with digdug, which was previously doing the verbose logging
- deprecate config.servers.webdriver
- add config.chromedriver.url
- if url at config.chromedriver.url points to a server that responds to http requests use it as the chromedriver instance, enables running chrome in a VM or container
- if pings to config.chromedriver.url fail a local chromedriver is started
* address review requests

**Commit 1:**
[tests/functional] auto-rebuild assets in test:ui:server task
While working on some functional tests I had to re-run the `test:ui:server` task several times to rebuild the front-end assets. I'm not sure why that should be necessary, so this updates the server used in that specific task to auto-rebuild the assets.

Currently, `npm start` and `npm run test:dev` use the same webpack "working directory". This allows them to share assets, which seems great, but when webpack writes it's record-keeping files to disk it can lead to difficult to debug "Property call of undefined is not a function" errors. By writing it's optimization output to a different directory we prevent those collisions so that both the test server and the dev server can be run side-by-side
V8 will not trigger a full mark-sweep & mark-compact until there is memory pressure for the max-old-space-size, which is 1.6GB on a 64bit system. This means that Kibana will, at times, consume over 1.6GB of RSS memory.
Bypassing this can be done by starting with `--dev` or explicitally setting `max-old-space-size`. For example: `NODE_OPTIONS="--max-old-space-size=1024" ./bin/kibana`
