Chrome versions cache helpers

These functions help interact with the cache used by chromote's for storing versioned Chrome for Testing binaries:

chrome_versions_path(): Returns a path or paths to specific Chrome binaries in the cache.
chrome_versions_add(): Add a specific version to the Chrome versions cache.
chrome_versions_remove(): Remove specific versions and binaries from the Chrome cache. The version, binary and platform arguments can each take "all" to remove all installed copies of that version, binary or platform.
chrome_versions_path_cache(): Returns the path to the cache directory used for Chrome binaries.

Managed Chrome installations is an experimental feature introduced in chromote v0.5.0 and was inspired by similar features in playwright.
