test: replace 'private-e2e' schematic with explicit setup in 'browsers' E2E test

The 'browsers' E2E test now explicitly installs its required dependencies and configures the Protractor builder manually. This replaces the reliance on the 'private-e2e' schematic, ensuring the test remains functional following the removal of global Protractor setup from the E2E utilities.
