ci: retry Playwright browser install to survive cdn.playwright.dev stalls

The release and CI jobs hung for their full duration on "Install Playwright browsers": apt --with-deps completed fine, then the browser-binary download from cdn.playwright.dev stalled with no built-in timeout. Wrap the install in a per-attempt timeout (480s ci, 540s release) and retry up to 3 times so a stalled download fails fast and re-fetches on a fresh connection.
