[pgadmin] Prefer CSS selectors to XPath selectors in feature tests

Hey all,

We've noticed that our feature tests make extensive use of xpath with the selenium api. It's well documented that css selectors are easier to read and more efficient. I think we should start to favor these if we have not considered so already.

I found XPATH quite confusing some times due to my own limitations.

So yes from my side. I have no objection.
