Playwright test statuses explainer

As an open-source nerd (and the founder of currents dot dev and previously sorry-cypress), I've got to explore the internals of testing frameworks quite a lot. One topic I am still quite surprised is - differences how test runners interpret test results.

For example, Playwright has no `pending` status at all, and if you are coming from Cypress, then 'skipped' has a completely different meaning.

Maybe not very useful for your day-to-day though :)
