chore: camoufox-cloudflare e2e + camoufox-ts template on Playwright 1.60 (apify#3749)

The `camoufox-cloudflare` e2e started failing after apify#3717 (which fixed
challenge **detection** and removed a long-standing false-green). Once
detection was honest, two real problems surfaced. This also fixes the
`camoufox-ts` template, which apify#3742 broke.

## Fix the e2e (LOCAL / MEMORY)

- **`useFingerprints: false`** — Crawlee's fingerprint injection
conflicts with Camoufox's own anti-detection, so Cloudflare never
cleared the challenge. Disabling it matches the documented Camoufox
usage.
- **preNavigationHook page-error swallower** — Cloudflare's challenge
throws cross-origin `Script error.`s with no location; Camoufox's
juggler forwards them without a `location`, and Playwright 1.60+ then
crashes the driver on `pageError.location.url`. Playwright declined to
guard it (microsoft/playwright#40982); fixed producer-side in
daijro/camoufox#625 but not in a released Camoufox build yet, so we
swallow the errors until then (`TODO` to remove).

## Enable the PLATFORM variant

Skipped with a stale "fails to build the docker image" TODO. Real cause
was an `EACCES`: the Camoufox base image builds as non-root `myuser`, so
the copied workspace packages were root-owned and `npm` couldn't create
their `node_modules`. Rewrote the Dockerfile to a single stage that
copies with `--chown=myuser` (matching the `camoufox-ts` template) and
dropped the skip.

## Fix the `camoufox-ts` template

apify#3742 (renovate) bumped the template to `playwright: 1.61.0`, but
camoufox-js 0.11 ships Firefox 150, whose juggler Playwright 1.61 can't
drive — the browser fails to launch (`Browser.setDefaultViewport`
protocol error). Pinned back to **1.60**.

## Note

The e2e actor also stays on Playwright 1.60 for the same reason. Both
will be able to move to 1.61 once a Camoufox build for it ships.
Renovate will try to re-bump the template (playwright isn't in
`ignoreDeps`) — a scoped rule to hold it at 1.60 may be worth adding.
