ci: speed up CI by installing fewer playwright deps

[espy]

Overview

run-test.sh does npx playwright install --with-deps "$CLIENT", which is quite slow on GH CI. This PR is an attempt to avoid --with-deps and selectively install only the few things Playwright actually needs, according to this guide.

Testing recommendations

Run the CI on this PR and compare it to the CI runs for #9205, this one should be faster, especially on the browser-adapter tests, some of which (eg. this one) take over 5 minutes each (sometimes much more), most of which is installing Playwright deps.

Specifically, compare the Usage pages of the two runs, those show the cumulative time of all runs at the bottom.

All green ✅

Turns out this PR only affects 4 tests, the combination of which seem a bit odd (see end of comment):

couchdb-browser (2.3, firefox, TYPE=find PLUGINS=pouchdb-find ADAPTERS=http npm test)
couchdb-browser (2.3, firefox, TYPE=mapreduce ADAPTERS=http npm test)
couchdb-browser (3.1, chromium, TYPE=mapreduce ADAPTERS=http npm test)
browser-adapter (chromium, indexeddb, TYPE=mapreduce npm test)

BUT! These go from ~8:30 to ~1:30 each compared to the baseline run.

First test run:

Cumulative test runtime is decreased from to 3h 17m 52s to 2h 53m 50s.
Total runtime is down from 9m 30s to 7m

Second test run:

Cumulative test runtime is decreased from to 3h 17m 52s to 2h 54m 50s.
Total runtime is down from 9m 30s to 6m 30s

This seems like a nice win.

Why does the combination seem odd?

I’d have expected similar tests to behave similarly, e.g. all playwright Chromium runs go through the same installation step, why are some consistently slower when the slow step happens in all of them? 🤔
