Add improved error messaging to python projects

[cocomarine]

Part of https://github.com/RaspberryPiFoundation/digital-editor-issues/issues/1448

Changes

• Added pfem package and required changes for it to run properly
• Added friendly_errors_enabled attribute set to false by default and added to redux
• The new redux state read by PythonRunner and passed as a prop to both PyodideRunner and SkulptRunner
• Added pfem logic to both runners and stored the friendly errors in redux
• Updated ErrorMessage component to display the friendly errors conditionally
• ⚠️ The error messages will be formatted in another PR: Error message UI #1485

Behaviour

• When the editor-wc in the host app has friendly_errors_enabled attribute not set or set to false, it shows the original error.
  

• When the editor-wc in the host has friendly_errors_enabled attribute set to true, it shows the original error followed by title and summary of the new friendly error.
  

Notes on using the pfem ESM in Jest

• Tried adding it to jest.transformIgnorePatterns in package.json, but resulted in a cascade of errors from plotly
  • Just moved three to jest.transformIgnorePatterns from scripts.test
• Added global jest mocks for pfem and plotly to setupTests.js
  • Also imported plotly to PyodideRunner/VisualOutputPane.test.js
• <- with a CJS build of pfem, these changes may be unnecessary

@cocomarine Just so you know, we are still likely to want to show the normal error message too as well as the friendly one.

Pull request overview

This PR adds an optional “friendly errors” feature for Python projects by integrating @raspberrypifoundation/python-friendly-error-messages (pfem), wiring a new friendly_errors_enabled web-component attribute through Redux into both Python runners, and extending the error UI to display the friendly title/summary.

Changes:

• Add pfem dependency and bundle its copydecks into the build output.
• Introduce friendlyErrorsEnabled + friendlyError Redux state and plumb the flag into PyodideRunner and SkulptRunner.
• Extend ErrorMessage to render pfem’s friendly title/summary and adjust Jest config/mocks to accommodate the new dependency (plus plotly mocking updates).
