chore: bump Playwright to 1.61 and align README dependency examples

[ScriptedAlchemy]

Summary

Two small chores split out of the React Router 8 branch (#74) so they can land ahead of it:

• Playwright 1.58.0 → ^1.61.1 across the workspace root and every example (the epic-stack examples had exact 1.58.0 pins), so the installed browser build matches the runner everywhere. CI now installs browsers via pnpm exec (locally pinned binary) instead of npx.
• README dependency examples bumped from ^7.1.3 to ^7.13.0, matching the plugin's actual @react-router/node dependency floor.

Includes an intentionally empty changeset (docs/devDeps/CI only — no release).

Testing

• pnpm install --frozen-lockfile passes (same check CI runs)
• Lockfile resolves a single @playwright/test@1.61.1 across all e2e-covered examples
