Description

Introduce new approaches for the E2E Cypress tests for the extension Wikibase to boost the performance and reduce the execution time.

The introduced new approaches:

Implement the login with session to avoid the manual login and use the existing login for each spec only once.

~~Dividing the E2E specs into multiple parallel processes to reduce the execution time (might consume more resources).~~

Use the MwApi:GetOrCreatePropertyIdByDataType instead of MwApi:CreateProperty when possible.

Note:
The E2E parallel processes will be handled in a different task.
