Test framework update: allow tests to click elements without waiting for page to fully load

Erick Banks requested to merge egb-skip-loading-check-base-page into master

What does this MR do?

I've added a kwarg hash element check to click_element and find_element so that I can write a test that does not wait for the page to fully load before interacting with it. I needed to do this because when using the pipeline editor page without any runners configured there is a pipeline status spinner that never finishes loading and prevents the wait_for_requests method from allowing the tests to interact with the elements on the page that are loaded.
