------------------------------+-----------------------
 The E2E and Performance testing workflows have started failing recently
 for older branches using Playwright (6.5 and earlier). This seems to be
 due to the change for ubuntu-latest to now point to ubuntu-24 instead of
 ubuntu-22.

 Updating Playwright to the latest version seems to fix the issue with no
 obvious side effects. Since this only effects build tooling and not the
 built software, this seems like a reasonable change to make in somewhat
 older branches.

 To avoid having `trunk` running an older version than 6.5 and earlier,
 Playwright should just be updated in all branches making use of the
 dependency (6.4-6.8 & `trunk`).
