ci(ecosystem): declare playwright via repo.json + force playwright >= 1.60

`npx playwright install chromium` wedges after the download bar reaches
100% under Node 24.16.0+ with Playwright < 1.60 (microsoft/playwright#40724,
fixed in 1.60.0 via #40747). This was silently consuming the full 10-min
timeout on vibe-dashboard, vitepress, tanstack-start-helloworld, and
vitest-playwright-repro every nightly run, because vp env happens to pick
24.16.0 for them.

Make Playwright a first-class declaration:

- repo.json gains `"playwright": true` on the 5 projects that need it
  (vibe-dashboard, vitepress, tanstack-start-helloworld,
  vitest-playwright-repro, vite-vue-vercel).
- patch-project.ts reads the flag and writes a `pnpm.overrides.playwright`
  entry pinned to `^1.60.0`. The override applies uniformly across direct
  deps, catalog entries (vibe-dashboard), and transitive-only cases
  (vitest-playwright-repro via @vitest/browser-playwright).
- e2e-test.yml adds a single `Install Playwright chromium` step gated on
  the repo.json flag (read via jq), removing the duplicated
  `npx playwright install chromium` lines from the 5 per-project command
  blocks.
