Description

### Describe the feature

The customer should be able to choose/use additional browsers/browser profiles (if configured), beside system default one.

### Use Case

The customers are often using different browsers/different browser profiles for different types of local accounts (personal account/ADM account/...). The customer should be able to choose which browser/browser profile they would like to use.

### Proposed Solution

1. Customer should have the ability to define browser section in config file, eg:

```
[browser chrome]
path="/Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome"

[browser chrome-profile1]
path="/Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome --profile-directory='Profile 1' --new-window"
```

There should be switch, eg. `--browser` which allows choosing browser, eg. `--browser chrome-profile1`

2. Customer is able to define default browser/profile from the list of defined browsers/profiles in the config file, by adding `default=true` to the configuration. Example:

```
[browser chrome]
path="/Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome"

[browser chrome-profile1]
path="/Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome --profile-directory='Profile 1' --new-window"
default=true
```

3. If no `--browser` switch is used and there is no default browser defined in the cLI configuration file, **use system default browser**
