[Feature] Configure web servers per project

[lughino]

I would love to have the possibility to configure local web servers per project.
In my use case, I have a full suite that runs against a local build of my application and a mock server, and a subset of those tests are used as smoke tests against production.

The problem is that playwright always executes the webservers configured when I run only the smoke-tests project.

If I had the possibility to configure the webServers per project, I would be able to avoid waiting for the local applications to be instantiated, like:

export default defineConfig({
  projects: [
    {
      name: 'functional-chromium',
      grepInvert: /@smoke/,
      use: { ...devices['Desktop Chrome'], baseURL: 'http://localhost:3000' },
      webServer: [
        {
           command: 'yarn serve',
           url: 'http://localhost:3000',
           timeout: 380 * 1000,
           reuseExistingServer: true,
        },
        {
           command: 'yarn mock-server',
           port: 3001,
           reuseExistingServer: true,
        },
      ],
    },
    {
       name: 'smoke-chromium',
       grep: /@smoke/,
       use: { ...devices['Desktop Chrome'], baseURL: 'https://production.app.com' },
    },
  ],
});

This would indeed be a great feature to have! We are having a lot of different unrelated test projects in one pw-config, to be able to set up different web servers for those would be awesome!

Yeah we have a need to have a "Live" project and a project with a Local server. one for CI one for Local so having a way to configure based on project would be great!
