Enhance tests and add backward compatibility for old structure

Test Improvements:
- Added negative assertions to verify files NOT created in old locations
- Added test for Playwright example files (was missing)
- Improved mocking to only mock package manager commands, not all system calls
- Now 20 tests total (was 17)

Backward Compatibility:
- Added fallback loading in CommandExecutor for old structure
- Will load from old location (e2e/cypress/e2e_helper.rb) if new location doesn't exist
- Shows deprecation warning with migration instructions
- Prevents breakage during migration period

Documentation:
- Added CHANGELOG link reference for issue #201
- Deprecation warning now includes app_commands migration instructions

This addresses all feedback:
- More explicit test coverage with negative assertions
- Safer mocking strategy targeting only package managers
- Graceful degradation for existing installations
- Complete migration guidance
