Avoid login issue in deployment E2E tests

[brandonpayton]

Motivation for the change, related issues

The deployment E2E tests are currently broken. WP admin email verification for an old WP 6.5 build appears to be causing a login failure error during the deployment tests.

An example of a failing screenshot comparison due to failed login is here.

Implementation details

This PR maxes out the admin_email_lifespan value (for 32-bit PHP) so there should be no further admin email verification redirect.

Testing Instructions (or ideally a Blueprint)

• CI

I'm not yet sure why CI continues to fail with these E2E tests. These changes seem to fix the testing issue when run locally with

npx nx e2e:playwright playground-website -- --ui

Hm, nothing obvious stands out to me 🤔

Thanks for considering this, @adamziel.

Something strange is going on with the old version, but I don't think we need to understand why. Instead, I plan to just disable logins and update the old-version reference screenshots to match that.

How did you originally generate the screenshots to match what CI will create? My plan is to just use a temp commit to generate the screenshots as part of the tests and then save those, but maybe there is a faster or easier way.

Since I ran out of time this evening, I created #2071 to temporarily disable the tests before we can fix them properly.

@brandonpayton I think I downloaded the CI artifacts and replaced the local screenshots – the CI runner had a different set of fonts than my mac so I couldn't easily use the ones generated locally.
