Issue: Set up CI job to run integration tests (#465 - closed)

What does this MR do and why?

This merge request adds integration testing capabilities to the GitLab Web IDE project on the CI pipeline. It creates a new Docker image specifically for running integration tests, which will only be rebuilt when its Dockerfile changes. The changes include:

  1. A new CI job to build the integration test Docker image.
  2. Configuration for running integration tests in two modes: one using the production image and another using a development image.
  3. A new Dockerfile that sets up Playwright (a browser automation tool) with necessary dependencies like mkcert for HTTPS testing.
  4. Updates to the Playwright configuration to better handle CI environments, including enabling HTML reports and trace collection.

The integration tests will run automatically on merge requests and the main branch, with special handling when the test Dockerfile itself changes. This provides a more robust way to test the Web IDE's functionality in realistic scenarios.
