Description
Feature and motivation
If a grid is running distributed from the test there's no access to the video aside from logging into the machine the browser session was executed on. In addition, if video's are saved to the remote machine the storage space will eventually be eaten up by the recordings. It would be very beneficial to have the ability to download and delete the saved video recordings. We are currently able to do this via the Selenoid project and not having this feature is a blocker for migrating to Selenium Grid 4.

Usage example
Ideally there would be a RESTful API available to get/delete videos, using the the webdriver session id as the key to get a specific video.

No files, tests, or entry points are named in the issue. Start by locating the video-recording and REST API areas in the repository, then define the download and deletion behavior keyed by WebDriver session ID; done means both operations work for recordings on the remote machine.
