[🐛 Bug]: SeleniumManager (Java): Calling 'getBinaryPaths' with an immutable arguments list results in UnsupportedOperationException

[sbabcoc]

What happened?

I'm using the getBinaryPaths(List<String>) function of SeleniumManager to acquire the path of driver binaries. The current implementation assumes that the list provided by the client is mutable. If an immutable list is specified, the function fails with UnsupportedOperationException.

How can we reproduce the issue?

public static File findDriver(String browserName) {
    SeleniumManager manager = SeleniumManager.getInstance();
    Result result = manager.getBinaryPaths(Arrays.asList("--browser", browserName));
    return new File(result.getDriverPath());
}

The call to getBinaryPaths() throws UnsupportedOperationException, because the current implementation of this function attempts to add its own arguments to the list provided by the client.
