LTS-5452: README step to set credentials as env vars - #23
Adds a Set your credentials step to the README. It covers exporting BROWSERSTACK_USERNAME / BROWSERSTACK_ACCESS_KEY in the shell (macOS/Linux and PowerShell) and never committing them. The CLI reads both from the environment.
Also rewords the credentials comment in browserstack-load.yml, which said "Add your BrowserStack userName and accessKey here". It now says the env vars override the placeholders and not to paste a real key into the file. This matches the Selenium sample's configs.
The Setup bullet that said to "update the same in browserstack-load.yaml" (which reads as: put your credentials there) now points to load test configuration only.
Asked for in BrowserStack Security's retest of LTS-5452: the sample READMEs had no step for setting credentials.
Updated setup instructions with macOS/Linux and PowerShell commands for configuring credentials through environment variables.
Clarified that these variables apply only to the current terminal session and override YAML placeholders; credentials should not be committed, and exposed keys should be regenerated.
Updated the test command to reference browserstack-load.yml.
Updated credential guidance in the YAML configuration file.
Export BROWSERSTACK_USERNAME / BROWSERSTACK_ACCESS_KEY in the shell and
never commit them; the CLI reads them from the environment.

Walkthrough
Setup guidance now directs users to configure BrowserStack credentials through environment variables and update browserstack-load.yml. The README includes shell commands and key-handling guidance. The YAML comments state that environment variables override placeholders.
The README provides macOS/Linux and PowerShell commands, explains environment-variable scope, and gives key-handling guidance. The YAML comments state that environment variables override placeholders. Setup and test instructions refer to browserstack-load.yml.
The updated instructions keep credentials out of the configuration file. No actionable merge blocker was established.

observed — Modified behavior in README.md: Adds credential setup instructions with commands for macOS/Linux and PowerShell, terminal-session scope and authentication troubleshooting, and guidance to keep credentials out of committed files, retain YAML placeholders, and regenerate exposed keys.
observed — Modified behavior in README.md: The test-running command now refers to browserstack-load.yml instead of browserstack-load.yaml.

- Line 20: Add a Bash alternative near the BROWSERSTACK_ACCESS_KEY export
example that reads the key through a non-echoing prompt, prints a newline
afterward, and exports the variable; retain the existing export example and
PowerShell instructions.

Hidden prompt for the access key so it stays out of bash/zsh and
PSReadLine history (CodeRabbit); note the variables last for the current
session and how to spot an unset one; per-repo fixes from the code review.

Prompt and export on one line, so pasting the block can't feed the export line to read. Robot: per-OS signature check, .gitignore for the CLI binary. Selenium: ignore browserstack-cli.exe.

zsh (macOS default) has interactive_comments off, so pasted '#' lines printed errors; the labels now sit outside the sh fences. The placement note names browserstack-cli.exe for Windows.
