test(persons): fix E2E flakiness — replace waitForTimeout with waitForListbox, remove conditional assertions, fix data-hydrated selector

Addresses three blockers raised in PR #350 review (Felix, Sara, Tobias):

1. Replace all waitForTimeout(400) calls with waitForListbox() which uses
   waitForSelector('[role="listbox"]', { state: 'visible' }) — auto-waits
   for the debounce to resolve, faster on fast machines and reliable under CI.

2. Remove all conditional if (hasResults) / if (hasDropdown) wrappers.
   Tests now use unconditional expect(dropdown).toBeVisible() assertions so
   a missing-data condition causes an explicit failure instead of a silent
   green run.

3. Replace waitForSelector('[data-hydrated]') with waitForLoadState('networkidle')
   in getDocumentEditUrl — the data-hydrated attribute does not exist in the
   app markup and would cause a 30s timeout on every test.

4. Extract page: Page type import from @playwright/test and introduce
   waitForListbox(page: Page) helper to avoid repeating the selector pattern.
