Implicit wait being on by default, we need to temporarily disable it when Explicit wait are used to avoid the "unintended consequences"

Expected flow

• Implicit wait get disabled
• Explicit wait get applied (eg: waiting for timeout or specific condition to occurs)
• Implicit wait get enabled again to its configured value

Currently affected cmdlets are :

• Wait-SeDriver (V4.0)
• Wait-SeElement (V4.))
• Get-SeElement (with -Timeout parameter)
• Clear-SeAlert

I Observed a few consequences, namely

• Extended timeout (3 seconds timeout take varying longer amount of time)
• Driver never return (It happened with ByChained queries and was locally fixed)
