unable to register driver session via agent when invalid `capabilities.adbExecTimeout=90000[` capability provided

[vdelendik]

after providing mistakenly capabilities.adbExecTimeout=90000[ capability with square bracket session can't be started.... but the problem is that our reporting agent crash test execution earlier:

...

potentially RetryUtils in reporting agent might be a reason. let's first of all repro on dev env and debug...

[vavadikb]

reproduced the connection to the appium via the emulator with the erroneous capability adbExecTimeout=90000[ without agents

when appium sees an incorrect capability, it forwards [HTTP] <-- POST /session 500 and does not allow a new session to be created and throws an error in the form [AppiumDriver@b587] Encountered internal error running command: Error: in this case adds details 'adbExecTimeout' must be of type number

[vdelendik]

closing as won't fix. backend appium logs contains exact reason:

[AppiumDriver@b587] Encountered internal error running command: SessionNotCreatedError: A new session could not be created. Details: 'adbExecTimeout' must be of type number

so user can read and identify root cause.
