docs(dev-infra): add instructions for updating GeckoDriver in `browsers/README.md` (#40150)

This commit adds instructions in `dev-infra/browsers/README.md` on how
to update the version of GeckoDriver (the WebDriver implementation for
Firefox browsers).

NOTE:
The gecko driver download URLs perform redirection, so the `curl`
command needs to be run with the `-L/--location` option to follow
redirects. I updated all `curl` commands (even those that are not used
on gecko driver download URLs) for consistency.

2. Update the `sha256` checksum of the browser archives.
You can do this by downloading the artifacts from the URLs you just updated, and then running `shasum` on those files:
```sh
curl <BROWSER_URL> | sha256 -a 256
curl -L <BROWSER_URL> | shasum -a 256
```
In the same file, you can also update the version of gecko driver (the WebDriver implementation for Firefox browsers).
1. Go to https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/testing/geckodriver/Support.html and find a version that is compatible with the used version of Firefox.
2. Update the `geckodriver` repository URLs to the desired version:
```bzl
platform_http_file(
name = "org_mozilla_geckodriver_amd64",
licenses = ["reciprocal"], # MPL 2.0
sha256 = "d59ca434d8e41ec1e30dd7707b0c95171dd6d16056fb6db9c978449ad8b93cc0",
# Geckodriver v0.26.0
urls = ["https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases/download/v0.26.0/geckodriver-v0.26.0-linux64.tar.gz"],
)
```
For example, replace all occurrences of `0.26.0` with the newer version.
3. Update the `sha256` checksum of the driver archives.
You can do this by downloading the artifacts from the URLs you just updated, and then running `shasum` on those files:
```sh
curl -L <DRIVER_URL> | shasum -a 256
