Removed unit test which checked spaces on service argument
My method for parsing out the argument does not allow for spaces. I want to revist this but in the meantime going to exclude that test. Also corrected unit test which checked the plug in documentation. As I update the library intro section this was failing. Not sure why it was not failing in GitHub Actions .. either I hadn't pushed or maybe had not yet checked that yet ..

= Browser and Driver options =
268+
269+
This section talks about how to configure either the browser or
270+
the driver using the options ans service arguments of the `Open
271+
Browser` keyword.
272+
273+
== Configuring the browser using the Selenium Options ==
274+
275+
As noted within the keyword documentation for `Open Browser`, its
276+
``options`` argument accepts Selenium options in two different
277+
formats: as a string and as Python object which is an instance of
278+
the Selenium options class.
279+
280+
=== Options string format ===
281+
282+
The string format allows defining Selenium options methods
283+
or attributes and their arguments in Robot Framework test data.
284+
The method and attributes names are case and space sensitive and
285+
must match to the Selenium options methods and attributes names.
286+
When defining a method, it must be defined in a similar way as in
287+
python: method name, opening parenthesis, zero to many arguments
288+
and closing parenthesis. If there is a need to define multiple
289+
arguments for a single method, arguments must be separated with
290+
comma, just like in Python. Example: `add_argument("--headless")`
291+
or `add_experimental_option("key", "value")`. Attributes are
292+
defined in a similar way as in Python: attribute name, equal sign,
293+
and attribute value. Example, `headless=True`. Multiple methods
294+
and attributes must be separated by a semicolon. Example:
295+
`add_argument("--headless");add_argument("--start-maximized")`.
296+
297+
Arguments allow defining Python data types and arguments are
298+
evaluated by using Python
299+
[https://docs.python.org/3/library/ast.html#ast.literal_eval|ast.literal_eval].
300+
Strings must be quoted with single or double quotes, example "value"
301+
or 'value'. It is also possible to define other Python builtin
302+
data types, example `True` or `None`, by not using quotes
303+
around the arguments.
304+
305+
The string format is space friendly. Usually, spaces do not alter
306+
the defining methods or attributes. There are two exceptions.
307+
In some Robot Framework test data formats, two or more spaces are
308+
considered as cell separator and instead of defining a single
309+
argument, two or more arguments may be defined. Spaces in string
310+
arguments are not removed and are left as is. Example
311+
`add_argument ( "--headless" )` is same as
312+
`add_argument("--headless")`. But `add_argument(" --headless ")` is
313+
not same same as `add_argument ( "--headless" )`, because
314+
spaces inside of quotes are not removed. Please note that if
315+
options string contains backslash, example a Windows OS path,
316+
the backslash needs escaping both in Robot Framework data and
317+
in Python side. This means single backslash must be writen using
318+
four backslash characters. Example, Windows path:
319+
"C:\path\to\profile" must be written as
320+
"C:\\\\path\\\to\\\\profile". Another way to write
321+
backslash is use Python
322+
[https://docs.python.org/3/reference/lexical_analysis.html#string-and-bytes-literals|raw strings]
323+
and example write: r"C:\\path\\to\\profile".
324+
325+
=== Selenium Options as Python class ===
326+
327+
As last format, ``options`` argument also supports receiving
328+
the Selenium options as Python class instance. In this case, the
329+
instance is used as-is and the SeleniumLibrary will not convert
330+
the instance to other formats.
331+
For example, if the following code return value is saved to
332+
`${options}` variable in the Robot Framework data:
333+
| options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
334+
| options.add_argument('--disable-dev-shm-usage')
335+
| return options
336+
337+
Then the `${options}` variable can be used as an argument to
338+
``options``.
339+
340+
Example the ``options`` argument can be used to launch Chomium-based
341+
applications which utilize the
342+
[https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/cef/wiki/UsingChromeDriver|Chromium Embedded Framework]
343+
. To launch Chromium-based application, use ``options`` to define
344+
`binary_location` attribute and use `add_argument` method to define
345+
`remote-debugging-port` port for the application. Once the browser
346+
is opened, the test can interact with the embedded web-content of
347+
the system under test.
