feat: add --no-isolated flag to enable persistent browser profile

Browse source 
Adds --no-isolated CLI flag to switch from the default incognito-like
isolated mode to a persistent browser profile. This enables features
that require non-incognito mode, particularly:

- Push API (pushManager.subscribe()) for push notifications
- Service worker persistence across sessions
- Full browser state retention

Usage:
  npx playwright-mcp --no-isolated
  PLAYWRIGHT_MCP_ISOLATED=false npx playwright-mcp

The default behavior (--isolated) remains unchanged for backward
compatibility.
