Description
This PR adds the ability to use the Playwright browser provider with remote Playwright servers. Playwright itself doesn't support running on all distributions, it is primarily tested against Debian-based distributions. Notably Playwright doesn't support running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and derived distributions. To solve this use case Playwright allows its client and server to run on different hosts, so the server may be launched on a supported distribution (see https://playwright.dev/docs/docker#remote-connection). By offering the client connect mode as an alternative to the launch mode we make browser mode available for more distributions.
