Can no long pass extensions as Base64 encoder CRX files.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Sorry if this isn't the right place to post this but using WebDriver 2.21 and 
2.22 it is no longer possible to load extensions by passing them to the driver 
as base64 encoded CRX files.

Previously one could call 
desiredCapabilities.setCapability("chrome.extensions", ...)  with a list of 
encoded extensions to have them loaded.  Now the extensions can only be loaded 
from the files system.

Obviously the API restricts this at the client level but has there been a 
change in ChromeDriver that prevents this also?

ChromeDriver = 20.0.1133 
Chrome = 19.0.1084.52
OS = Win 7 x64
WebDriver 2.22

Also there is no longer anyway to specify other driver level options such as 
"chrome.detach".

This should still be possible from the ChromeDriver side. I think the current 
ChromeOptions/ChromeDriver Java interface is a bit out of date. I'll put 
together a patch...
