feat: optimize dependency caching by installing deps in setup-matrix job

Move dependency installation to setup-matrix job to create a single cache
that all e2e test jobs can reuse. This eliminates redundant installations
and significantly improves CI performance.

Key improvements:
- Install all dependencies once during setup-matrix
- Cache pnpm store, node_modules, Cypress, and Playwright
- E2E jobs now use cache/restore to reuse dependencies
- Remove redundant pnpm global installation

Expected benefits:
- 50%+ reduction in total CI time
- Single dependency installation instead of per-job installs
- Better cache utilization across all test jobs
