fix(install): handle Playwright deps correctly on non-apt systems

Browse Source 
Playwright's --with-deps flag only supports apt-based dependency
installation. The install script previously ran it on all non-Arch
systems, failing silently on Gentoo, Fedora, openSUSE, and others.

- Restrict --with-deps to known apt-based distributions
- Add explicit guidance for RPM-based (dnf) and zypper-based systems
- Show visible warnings instead of suppressing failures with || true
- Correct misleading comment that claimed dnf/zypper support

Fixes #6865
