Fix the two macOS field-test failures: backend order, RO board dir
Second Mac run (KiCad demo board opened from the mounted installer
image) got past the dialog and died twice:

1. make_output_dir crashed with OSError 30: the demos volume is a
   read-only filesystem. Now falls back to a temp directory named
   after the board, with the path printed (the Messages panel showed
   it is actually read there).

2. The error figure - and every other figure - could never render:
   matplotlib refused with Cannot load backend TkAgg ... as qt is
   currently running. macOS bundled Python ships tkinter, so the
   old tk-first probe picked TkAgg while the PySide6 dialog and
   progress window had already made this a Qt process. Windows never
   saw it because KiCad Python there has no tkinter. Qt now comes
   first - PySide6 is a hard dependency, so it is always there.

Both covered by tests that fail on the old code: the dev env has both
toolkits installed, so the backend-order assertion is exercised for
real, and the RO fallback is simulated by denying mkdir under the
board dir. 140 passed on the dev stack and on the Python 3.9 +
numpy 2.0 / scipy 1.13 / matplotlib 3.9 / PySide6 6.10 stack that a
Mac venv resolves.
