Fix: Prevent 409 conflicts in Playwright pagination tests on retry

[Rohit0301]

Describe your changes:

Playwright tests were failing with 409 Conflict on retry because entity classes (DatabaseClass, DriveServiceClass, etc.) were instantiated at module level. When Playwright retries a failed beforeAll, the module is already cached — the same instance with the same UUID is reused, causing the POST to fail on an already-existing entity.

Moved all entity class instantiations inside beforeAll so a fresh instance (with a new UUID) is created on every run/retry
