fix: query playwriter tab group by title instead of caching ID

- Remove global playwriterGroupId cache that could become stale
- Query chrome.tabGroups by title on each sync instead
- Use batch chrome.tabs.ungroup() with array of IDs instead of loops
- Fixes issue where group wasn't created after debugger detach/reattach
