Fix: playwright scrolling element into view

[seanmcguire12]

why

• if performPlaywrightMethod is attempting to click an element, and the chosen element does not pass playwright's actionability check (more information here), the click will fail even if the element is actually clickable
• this failure case is often characterized by repeated up & down scrolling for 30 seconds, and then the act ultimately fails
  • this is playwright attempting to scroll the element into view so it can pass the actionability check

what changed

• to address the issue, we set a timeout for the actionability check, and if it times out, we retry with force: true

test plan

• added an eval

PR Summary

This pull request introduces a new google_flights eval to test forced click behavior and refines the click handling to retry with force: true after a timeout.

• Updated /evals/evals.config.json to include the new 'google_flights' task under the 'act' category.
• Added /evals/tasks/google_flights.ts eval to validate forced navigation on actionability failure.
• Modified /lib/handlers/handlerUtils/actHandlerUtils.ts to add a timeout and forced click logic, with a potential risk of suppressing non-timeout errors.
