Bug detected in https://github.com/microsoft/playwright-vscode/pull/513#issuecomment-2274495198, but it also happens with public releases of playwright / playwright-vscode.

To reproduce:

• initialize a playwright test project with npm init playwright@latest
• in Testing, ensure Show trace viewer is selected
• in Testing Explorer, expand and select a leaf test item, e.g. has title
• click the Debug Test button

Eventually, it will open the trace viewer app showing Select test to see the trace.

This PR tries to fix it by ensuring that trace paths are only associated with corresponding test items when they are not running in debug.

I did not realize this was intended to land first.

I'll rebase it, no worries.

Rebased it again, and adapted it to new changes.

@pavelfeldman I noticed the embeddedTraceViewer setting is not materialized in the actual VS Code, and I found no path to enable it except in the mocked vscode.

I had to change the value directly in the code to be able to test it in VS Code. Is there any other way?
