Update our Selenium programs so that they can run headless

We have a few programs (SubtitleDownloader, get_netflix_activity, get_hulu_activity) that use Selenium to navigate on sites and download things.

The job here is add a headless mode so that Chrome is not actually displayed on any screen. There's two reasons for this: 1) Headless is a lot faster (performance reasons), 2) We want to be able to use the programs from a script, or a terminal, etc, which is impossible if we require Chrome to be on screen.
