Edge example fails - web docs

[MikeMcC399]

Issue

The usage example published to the CircleCI website - cypress-io/cypress@3.3.1 for running Cypress against the Microsoft Edge web browser using the Cypress CircleCI Orb fails.

There is no Edge browser available, only the default Electron browser bundled with Cypress.

The failing example code is:

version: '2.1'
orbs:
  cypress: cypress-io/cypress@3
workflows:
  use-my-orb:
    jobs:
      - cypress/run:
          cypress-command: npx cypress run --browser edge
          start-command: npm run start:dev

There are also associated issues:

1. The example source code src/examples/edge.yml doesn't work either, since cypress/run-tests has no provision for an alternate executor.
2. The web example on https://circleci.com/developer/orbs/orb/cypress-io/cypress#usage-edge is not a copy of the example on https://github.com/cypress-io/circleci-orb/blob/master/src/examples/edge.yml so it seems that something is going wrong with the publishing process. The deployment logs however give no detail to aid debugging - see https://app.circleci.com/pipelines/github/cypress-io/circleci-orb/1929.

• PR docs: replace and fix edge example #489 submitted to replace the Edge example with a working one. Since the cause of non-publication to the website is unclear, this PR may or may not cause a replacement example to be published to https://circleci.com/developer/orbs/orb/cypress-io/cypress#usage-edge . It's conceivable that the publication was previously silently blocked due to the code not being runnable.
