fix: click the challenge checkbox without tripping Cloudflare's detector

Measuring the widget with page.evaluate() made Cloudflare reissue the
challenge every few seconds, so the interstitial never cleared. Locate the
container with locators instead and click it through the mouse, which leaves
its closed shadow root untouched.

Keep the solver lazy as well: ClickSolver.prepare() patches attachShadow,
which is what escalated a self-clearing challenge into a checkbox in the
first place.

A click can land while the widget is still self-verifying, so retry on a
cooldown for as long as the request budget lasts rather than stopping after
the first one, and confirm the marker is gone twice before reporting success
since it drops out between challenge rounds.

The bypass tests now pass on their own, so drop the xfail marks.
