feat(UIHelper): Add function to dismiss quickstart

This change adds a dismissQuickstartIfVisible function to UIHelper, used
in at least one e2e test and could be helpful for other tests.  This
change also updates the vitepress config to reflect the newer package
version this change introduces.

+- **`UIhelper.dismissQuickstartIfVisible()`**: Optionally closes the RHDH quickstart drawer when its **Hide** control is visible, so e2e tests are not blocked by the overlay. Optional `waitHiddenMs` (default `5000`) controls how long to wait for the button to become hidden after click.

+### `dismissQuickstartIfVisible(options?)`
+
+When the [quickstart](https://github.com/redhat-developer/rhdh-plugins/tree/main/workspaces/quickstart) plugin opens its drawer (for example after login), it can sit over the catalog, search field, or other controls. This method clicks **Hide** only if that button is visible, then waits for it to go away; otherwise it returns immediately.
+
+```typescript
+await uiHelper.dismissQuickstartIfVisible();
+await uiHelper.dismissQuickstartIfVisible({ waitHiddenMs: 10_000 });
+```
+
+Typical use is right after navigation or login, before assertions or interactions that need an unobstructed main view.
