test(vscode-e2e): reuse built-in e2e project, exact-match project row

Drop the pre-launch workspace seed that was breaking the runner
startup. Use the react-standalone fixture's built-in `e2e` project as
the non-default project for the projects-view case instead.

Tighten the projects-view row locator to exact `aria-label=` match so
the `e2e` project name doesn't collide with the isolated workspace's
`e2e#######` directory name via substring matching.
