[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] Replacing Selenium with a more reliable alternative (Issue #6768)

we went through a similar migration and Playwright was the right call for us. the multi-browser support (Chromium, Firefox, WebKit) addresses the Firefox concern since Playwright has native support for it, unlike Cuprite. the biggest win over Selenium wasn't just speed though, it was the built-in auto-wait and more reliable selector strategies. one thing that made our migration smoother: instead of manually rewriting each Selenium test, we used an approach where we crawl the app to discover test scenarios and auto-generate Playwright tests from those discovered flows. meant we could rebuild the test suite faster than migrating test by test.
