test(e2e): Filter user interaction transactions from time-to-display …
eb3930b 
…test

The SpaceflightNewsScreen sample now includes a button with sentry-label,
which creates ui.action.touch transactions. These user interaction transactions
don't have time-to-display measurements (only navigation transactions do).

Updated the test to filter out ui.action.touch transactions before checking
for time-to-display measurements, allowing the test to correctly validate
navigation transactions while ignoring user interaction transactions.

## LEGAL BOILERPLATE

<!-- Sentry employees and contractors can delete or ignore this section.
-->

Look, I get it. The entity doing business as "Sentry" was incorporated
in the State of Delaware in 2015 as Functional Software, Inc. and is
gonna need some rights from me in order to utilize my contributions in
this here PR. So here's the deal: I retain all rights, title and
interest in and to my contributions, and by keeping this boilerplate
intact I confirm that Sentry can use, modify, copy, and redistribute my
contributions, under Sentry's choice of terms.
