Load cookies exported by Playwright into a SharePoint client context.

The library does not depend on Playwright; this is a helper that demonstrates how to reuse a browser session captured by capture_cookies_with_playwright.py.

Usage: SP_SITE_URL="https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/demo" PLAYWRIGHT_STORAGE_STATE="./storage_state.json" python examples/sharepoint/auth/load_cookies_from_playwright.py
