feat(plugin-axe): add authentication support via setup script

[hanna-skryl]

Closes #1135

• Add setupScript option for testing login-protected pages
• Refactor browser management from standalone functions to AxeRunner class for cleaner lifecycle handling
• Update Zod to v4.2.1 across all packages. This was required because Zod v4.1.5 fixed the z.function() type inference, which is now used for validating the setup function signature.
• Refactor docsUrlSchema for Zod v4 compatibility
• Test with a real Angular application behind username/password authentication

Added suggestion to reduce lines in tests.

This is amazing work! 😍 The implementation is nice and clean, and the documentation should be fairly easy to use. I'm looking forward to trying it out! 🚀
