[Feature]: Trace viewer: Add timeout-risk highlighting for actions in Playwright traces

Description
🚀 Feature Request
It would be useful if Playwright traces could visually highlight actions based on how close they came to their configured timeout. It seems like the trace file for the most part has all of the info to work this out.
Example
something so it can searched for in the Filter Actions seach box ?
Motivation
Many tests pass successfully but still contain actions that regularly run close to their timeout limit. For example, an action that takes 25 seconds with a 30 second timeout may pass, but it is likely to become flaky when the environment is slower.
Relay Analysis
Relay reads this issue against the repository's contribution signals: the files it is likely to touch, how the maintainers triage work this size, and what the first contribution would exercise.
The full analysis for this issue is still being assembled. Until then, the description above and the thread on GitHub are the most reliable context.
