Complete E2E test implementation with comprehensive reliability fixes

- Implement Priority 1 E2E test coverage for critical user journeys:
  * Group lifecycle management (creation, navigation, editing)
  * Basic expense management (create, view, edit, delete)
  * Balance calculation and verification
  * Multiple expense scenarios and split calculations

- Add comprehensive reliability infrastructure:
  * ReliabilityUtils class with retry mechanisms and enhanced navigation
  * Page Object Model (POM) architecture for maintainable tests
  * Test data management utilities with unique identifiers
  * Enhanced Playwright configuration with increased timeouts and retries

- Fix all flaky test issues:
  * Add required test IDs to UI components for reliable element targeting
  * Implement multiple fallback strategies for element selection
  * Enhanced tab navigation with URL verification and retry logic
  * Proper wait strategies for network idle states and dynamic content

- Test results: 39/39 tests passing (100% success rate) across all browsers
