add Playwright CLI comparison table to website and README

Closes #57

Highlights key differences: Playwriter uses your existing Chrome
(logins, extensions, cookies), can bypass captchas by disconnecting
the extension, lets you collaborate in the same browser window,
and gives full Playwright API + raw CDP access instead of a limited
shell command set.
