SeleniumLibrary 6.8.0

SeleniumLibrary 6.8.0 is a new release which adds Python 3.14 support and a few other enhancements and bug fixes.
SeleniumLibrary supports Python 3.8 through 3.14, Selenium 4.28.1 through 4.34.2 and Robot Framework 6.1.1 and 7.3.2.

Most important enhancement

• Option to return embed screenshot while using Capture Page Screenshot (#1923). One is now given the additional option to return the screenshot as base64 string to be used elsewhere in the log html. If the screenshot root directory is specified as BASE64 then the screenshot string is returned. See the Capture Page Screenshot keyword doc for more information and example to place returned image in the log file.
• Update README.rst 'Browser drivers' section (#1938). With the (long past) addition of Selenium Manager within the selenium package, the documentation on browser drivers was outdated and incorrect. This works to correct that. For more information about Selenium Manager and handling browsers and drivers see the Selenium Documentation on the topic.
• Loosen restriction on the upper Python version allowing Python 3.14 (#1949)
