Description

Current settings implementation is basically a stub for PoC, they should definitely evolve into something better. Two main issues - no validations at all and no support of nested sections due to configparser limitations (webdrivercapabilities section is supposed to be a part of selenium section). I was thinking about using configobj instead of configparser, but absence of new commits for more than year encourages to look for a better alternative.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the current settings class and its usage, then evaluate alternatives like configobj or custom parsing to support nested sections and add validation logic.
