Fixes https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/issues/30160
### Description:
This pull request introduces the ability to specify custom locations for
test steps in Playwright. By enabling the provision of arbitrary
locations to the test.step method, it resolves the limitation where
helper methods obfuscate the original call site, providing more accurate
and meaningful location data in test reports.
### Motivation:
To enhance the utility and clarity of test reports in Playwright.
Specifically, it addresses the need to trace test steps back to their
precise location in the code, which is especially important when steps
are abstracted in helper functions. This feature is crucial for
maintaining accurate documentation and facilitating debugging processes.
### Changes:
Added functionality to pass a custom location object to test.step.
### Expected Outcome:
This PR is expected to significantly improve the precision and
usefulness of diagnostic data in test reports by allowing specific
locations within helper functions to be accurately documented. It
facilitates better tracking of test executions and simplifies the
debugging process, making it easier for developers to understand and
address issues within complex tests.

**Code Check**
I conducted tests on this new feature by integrating it into some
existing test codes, and it worked well. I will attach the code used for
testing and a screenshot showing the successful outcome.

After API review we decided to revert it:
* VSCode extension and UI mode users already get the (runtime) error if
the tag is not prefixed
* The typescript error message is not very nice
* The type change would break those clients that generate tests with
tags passed as string
This reverts commit 90e7b9ebac.
