When Playwright reports are deployed to the gh-pages branch within the same repository, the repository size can grow significantly over time, leading to a bloated Git history. This is especially problematic when reports include trace viewers and screenshots.
This PR implements an orphan branch approach to solve this issue by deploying reports using orphan branches, which create fresh git branches with zero history for each deployment. This prevents accumulation of large commits over time.
Example where this is used here: https://github.com/grafana/grafana-test-datasource/pull/18
