Description

Background:
Today we use --headless if there's no DISPLAY that has been exported. By adding a configuration you can more easily turn on/off headless, making it possible to test with or without use browser built in headless (running headless is recommended by webdriverIO).

Acceptance Criteria:

Add a configuration in wdio-defaults.conf.js for core where you can set the headless behavior, but keep default functionality.
the configuration should be changed in wdio.conf.js
