Fix IE driver crash during session creation

Sometimes, for an unknown reason, the Internet Explorer (IE) driver crashes while a session is created, which results in the RPA bot waiting for three hours. To avoid the long waiting, the rpa.timeouts.http.create-session timeout is introduced:

The default value is one minute. After the crash, an RPA bot waits for one minute and then throws the following exception:
