This method returns the names of all currently active sessions that have been used with `using_session`. Its primary purpose is to call `save_screenshot` for multiple sessions when a test fails. Previously, it was difficult to retrieve session names during tests. With this addition, developers can now easily obtain all session names and save screenshots for each active session, enhancing debugging capabilities in multi-session test scenarios.

Additional Information
For example, in Rails, the
take_failed_screenshotmethod captures a screenshot when a test fails. https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/e6429269fd5a8a7d728557f4e7d7f82c0ad1478c/actionpack/lib/action_dispatch/system_testing/test_helpers/screenshot_helper.rb#L53-L58Currently, this method only captures screenshots from the default session. However, when using multiple sessions with
using_session, I would like to save screenshots for each active session. In Capybara’s current implementation, tracking the session names created withusing_sessionis difficult, and the only workaround has been to override the method to achieve this functionality.
