test(ui): add scans E2E test suite and enhance scans functionality

- Introduced a new scans test suite to validate the on-demand scan execution flow.
- Added methods in the ScansPage class for selecting providers, filling scan aliases, and verifying scan launches.
- Updated the ProvidersPage class to include a method for adding AWS providers.
- Created comprehensive end-to-end tests for executing scans, including necessary preconditions and environment variable checks.
- Documented the new test cases and flow in the scans markdown file.

+### E2E Tests: Scans - On Demand
+
+**Suite ID:** `SCANS-E2E`
+**Feature:** On-demand Scans.
+
+---
+
+## Test Case: `SCANS-E2E-001` - Execute On-Demand Scan
+
+**Priority:** `critical`
+
+**Tags:**
+
+- type → @e2e, @serial
+- feature → @scans
+
+**Description/Objective:** Validates the complete flow to execute an on-demand scan selecting a provider by UID and confirming success on the Scans page.
+
+**Preconditions:**
+
+- Admin user authentication required (admin.auth.setup setup)
+- Environment variables configured for : E2E_AWS_PROVIDER_ACCOUNT_ID,E2E_AWS_PROVIDER_ACCESS_KEY and E2E_AWS_PROVIDER_SECRET_KEY
+- Remove any existing AWS provider with the same Account ID before starting the test
+- This test must be run serially and never in parallel with other tests, as it requires the Account ID Provider to be already registered.
+
+### Flow Steps:
+
+1. Navigate to Scans page
+2. Open provider selector and choose the entry whose text contains E2E_AWS_PROVIDER_ACCOUNT_ID
+3. Optionally fill scan label (alias)
+4. Click "Start now" to launch the scan
+5. Verify the success toast appears
+6. Verify a row in the Scans table contains the provided scan label (or shows the new scan entry)
+
+### Expected Result:
+
+- Scan is launched successfully
+- Success toast is displayed to the user
+- Scans table displays the new scan entry (including the alias when provided)
+
+### Key verification points:
+
+- Scans page loads correctly
+- Provider select is available and lists the configured provider UID
+- "Start now" button is rendered and enabled when form is valid
+- Success toast message: "The scan was launched successfully."
+- Table contains a row with the scan label or new scan state (queued/available/executing)
+
+### Notes:
+
+- The table may take a short time to reflect the new scan; assertions look for a row containing the alias.
+- Provider cleanup performed before each test to ensure clean state
+- Tests should run serially to avoid state conflicts.
