these tests as written are not providing any sort of critical test coverage that we need to keep around. we plan to use Playwright for this type of front-end testing, and there is no need to wait until we have written those to remove these Cypress tests.

Closes #2534
This PR removes Cypress from our project.
The plan is to use Playwright for any automated front-end testing, and we will start with automating the smoke tests that are part of our release process (see #2504).
Eventually, we may add the type of automated front-end testing that these Cypress tests were meant to do, which was something more like front-end validation / regression / QA testing.
I went through all the Cypress tests we have, and none of them appear to be a critical test that we need to keep around while moving on to Playwright. Rather than waiting until we've replaced these tests with corresponding Playwright tests, I think we should just go ahead and remove Cypress wholesale. It's probably better anyways for us to revisit when exactly a front-end QA test is warranted.
Just for historical record purposes, here is a list of tickets that show our history with trying to use Cypress:
