Address review feedback on e2e test suite

- test_workbook_permissions: _unique() the username to avoid 409 on second run
- pyproject.toml: don't leak -n auto into test_e2e/ runs (they're xdist-incompat)
- test_datasources_get: migrate to filter(name=...) to fix the known flake
- test_pager_datasources_returns_items: loosen strict == to >= to survive concurrent publishers
- test_projects_get_by_path: _unique() the three fixed project names
- Migrate bare except in test_workbook_permissions to warnings.warn
- Prefer TSC.Resource over the private-path import
