Introduces SeleniumURLLoader for JavaScript-Dependent Web Page Data Retrieval (#2291)

### Summary
This PR introduces a `SeleniumURLLoader` which, similar to
`UnstructuredURLLoader`, loads data from URLs. However, it utilizes
`selenium` to fetch page content, enabling it to work with
JavaScript-rendered pages. The `unstructured` library is also employed
for loading the HTML content.

### Testing
```bash
pip install selenium
pip install unstructured
```

```python
from langchain.document_loaders import SeleniumURLLoader

urls = [
    "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ",
    "https://goo.gl/maps/NDSHwePEyaHMFGwh8"
]

loader = SeleniumURLLoader(urls=urls)
data = loader.load()
```
