test(e2e): update reader annotation test to match post-#61 behaviour

The old test waited for the PDF canvas (30 s timeout) before checking
for a disabled Annotieren button — a brittle dependency that caused
consistent failure because the reader's file fetch never completed in
CI. Since issue #61 will remove the disabled button entirely for users
without ANNOTATE_ALL, rewrite the test to assert the button is absent,
which is correct both in the interim and after #61.
