fix: remove unnecessary screenshots from E2E commands, fix localStorage error handling, consolidate Cypress handlers (#1050)

* Initial plan

* Fix release test failures: remove unnecessary screenshots, fix localStorage error handling, fix performance test thresholds

- Remove cy.screenshot() from ensureAppLoaded, setSecurityLevels, findSecurityLevelControls commands
- Remove cy.screenshot() from on('fail') and uncaught:exception handlers in e2e.ts
- Remove cy.screenshot() from global-test-setup.ts
- Fix useLocalStorage hook to catch QuotaExceededError inside React state updater
- Fix error-handling.cy.ts localStorage quota test to use plain JS override
- Fix widget-performance.cy.ts to use direct selects for accurate timing
- Unskip and implement useLocalStorage.setItem error handling unit test

* Add console.error assertion to useLocalStorage setItem error test

* Consolidate duplicate Cypress handlers and fix double console.error spy

- Consolidate two uncaught:exception handlers into one in e2e.ts
- Consolidate two fail handlers into one in e2e.ts
- Remove duplicate fail handler from commands.ts (centralized in e2e.ts)
- Remove redundant console.error spy in useLocalStorage test (reuse beforeEach spy)
