John McCardle bd0b913d7d fix(demos): unrot tests/demo and gate it in CI
tests/demo/demo_main.py died immediately on `mcrfpy.sceneUI`, removed with the
pre-Scene-object API. Four bugs, not the one filed:

  1. screens/base.py called mcrfpy.sceneUI(name). The Scene object it had already
     constructed owns the UI collection: scene.children.
  2. demo_main.py called the removed mcrfpy.setScene().
  3. run_interactive() referenced `menu`, a local of create_menu() -- NameError on
     every interactive launch, independent of the sceneUI bug.
  4. run_headless() assigned a DemoScreen (not a Scene) to mcrfpy.current_scene ->
     TypeError, so the headless screenshot path was broken too.

The screens themselves had rotted the same way as the unit suite: add_layer() no
longer takes keyword arguments or a name (it takes a layer object), layer.set()
takes a position tuple, and mcrfpy.Animation is no longer exported (targets animate
themselves). Fixed in grid_demo and animation_demo, including the code samples the
demos display -- the demos are documentation, so a stale sample is a stale doc.

The headless path also no longer needs a Timer at all. Rendering costs zero
simulation time (#341/#350), so it just activates each scene and screenshots it,
rather than waiting for frames that headless never runs.

Six showcase scripts wrote to a hardcoded /opt/goblincorps/... absolute path outside
the repo, so they raised PermissionError for anyone else. Replaced with
tests/demo/docs_output.py: $MCRF_DOCS_REPO, else a side-by-side mcrogueface.github.io
checkout, else tests/demo/screenshots/.

The point of the issue was the gate, so: run_tests.py now runs demo_main.py as a
smoke test. Verified it catches the original bug -- reintroducing the sceneUI call
turns the demo suite red. CLAUDE.md tells newcomers to read tests/demo/screens/ for
correct API usage; nothing was checking that it ran.

The 19 standalone showcase scripts under screens/ are not on the demo_main path and
are not adopted here; follow-up issue to come.

"""Where the showcase scripts write their generated images (#372).
These scripts used to hardcode /opt/goblincorps/repos/mcrogueface.github.io -- an
absolute path outside the repo, on one developer's machine. Anyone else running them
got PermissionError, which is part of why they rotted unnoticed.
Resolution order:
1. $MCRF_DOCS_REPO -- explicit checkout of mcrogueface.github.io
2. ../mcrogueface.github.io -- the usual side-by-side checkout
3. tests/demo/screenshots/ -- in-repo default, always writable
