fix: prevent browser screenshots from displaying as base64 text after multiple actions

- Added ScreenshotImage component with proper error handling and validation
- Validates screenshot data URLs before rendering to ensure they are proper image data
- Provides fallback UI when screenshot data is invalid or corrupted
- Fixes issue where screenshots would display as raw base64 text after ~5 browser actions

Fixes #7795
