This PR fixes an issue where in some conditions Selenium::WebDriver::Error::StaleElementReferenceError is thrown.
The problem occurs when a test stores a deeply nested instance of AePageObjects::Element in a variable, reloads the page, and then continues to use that element. Because the element references a capybara node that is obsolete the error above can occur.
The solution is to detect this scenario and then traverse back up to the root node of the tree and reload elements.
