Story

Summary

Introduce a complete E2E testing framework for RHDH plugins that handles deployment orchestration and test lifecycle management:

JIRA issue : https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHIDP-9679

• RHDHDeployment class - Deploy RHDH to OpenShift via Helm charts or the RHDH Operator with automatic version resolution, config merging, and namespace management
• Playwright fixtures - Worker-scoped rhdh fixture that shares deployment across tests and auto-cleans namespaces in CI
• Kubernetes utilities - Helper for managing namespaces, ConfigMaps, Secrets, and Routes via @kubernetes/client-node
• Config merging - Deep merge YAML configs with environment variable substitution ($VAR, ${VAR:-default}{})
• New exports: rhdh-e2e-test-utils/test, rhdh-e2e-test-utils/rhdh, rhdh-e2e-test-utils/utils
