Add API error monitoring tests and error context snapshots for various browsers

- Created error context snapshots for Firefox, WebKit, and Chromium to capture UI state during API error monitoring.
- Implemented e2e tests for API error detection, including console errors, failed API requests, and proxy errors.
- Added functionality to ignore specific API patterns in monitoring assertions.
- Ensured tests validate the monitoring system's ability to detect and report errors effectively.
