[bazel] Rename remote config to rbe

[shs96c]

User description

In the Selenium project, remote may refer to a number of different things:

• A driver running on the local machine, but not in process
• A driver running remotely, in Grid or a Selenium As A Service provider
• The remote protocol we're using
• The remote Bazel config for builds

To reduce this plethora of options, renaming the Bazel remote config to rbe will help.

PR Code Suggestions ✨

Explore these optional code suggestions:

Category	Suggestion	Impact
General	Update test tag filters The test tag filter still contains '-remote' which should be updated to align with the new naming convention. Consider removing the '-remote' tag or replacing it with a new tag that follows the 'rbe' naming pattern. .bazelrc.remote [34] -test:rbe --test_tag_filters=-exclusive-if-local,-skip-rbe,-remote +test:rbe --test_tag_filters=-exclusive-if-local,-skip-rbe Apply this suggestion Suggestion importance[1-10]: 8 __ Why: This is an important catch that would cause issues. The test tag filter still excludes tests with the '-remote' tag, but since the configuration is now 'rbe', this filter should be updated to maintain proper test filtering behavior.	Medium
	Maintain consistent naming convention Update the EXECUTOR definition to match the new naming convention. Since you're renaming all 'remote' references to 'rbe', consider changing the EXECUTOR value from 'remote' to 'rbe' for consistency. .bazelrc.remote [10] -build:rbe --define=EXECUTOR=remote +build:rbe --define=EXECUTOR=rbe Apply this suggestion Suggestion importance[1-10]: 7 __ Why: The suggestion correctly identifies an inconsistency in the naming convention. Since all other 'remote' references are being changed to 'rbe', updating the EXECUTOR value maintains consistency throughout the configuration files.	Medium
