Set turtle graphics inside runCode to avoid null.firstChild

[cocomarine]

Closes Intermittent ExternalError when running Turtle projects after saving #1261

Findings

• The 'firstChild' error is not at all reproducible locally
• In staging, sometimes it errors and sometimes not. Couldn't see any pattern 🤷‍♀️
• Upon inspecting turtle.js within the skupt module, it seemed that the type error could be coming from the target being null while checking target.firstChild for the while loop:

// turtle.js 
...
function getConfiguredTarget() {
    var selector, target;

    selector = (Sk.TurtleGraphics && Sk.TurtleGraphics.target) || "turtle",
    target   = typeof selector === "string" ?
        document.getElementById(selector) :
        selector;
    // ensure that the canvas container is empty
    while (target.firstChild) {
        target.removeChild(target.firstChild);
    }
    return target;
}
...

• SkulptRunner runs runCode() in a parent useEffect. VisualOutputPane sets Sk.TurtleGraphics.target in a child useEffect. React runs parent effects before child effects, so from turtle import * can run before the child has set Sk.TurtleGraphics.target.

Potential fix

• Ensured Sk.TurtleGraphics.target points at #turtleOutput before turtle runs by setting it within the SkulpRunner's runCode()

Pull request overview

This PR addresses an intermittent Skulpt Turtle graphics failure (reported as null.firstChild) by ensuring the Turtle graphics target/asset wiring happens before Skulpt imports/executes user code, particularly in the web component (shadow DOM) context.

Changes:

• Initialize Sk.TurtleGraphics.target and Sk.TurtleGraphics.assets inside runCode() before invoking Sk.misceval.asyncToPromise / importing the main module.
• Add a regression test asserting Turtle wiring occurs before asyncToPromise is entered.

File	Description
src/components/Editor/Runners/PythonRunner/SkulptRunner/SkulptRunner.jsx	Wires Turtle graphics target/assets earlier (and supports shadowRoot lookup) to prevent null access during turtle import/runtime init.
src/components/Editor/Runners/PythonRunner/SkulptRunner/SkulptRunner.test.js	Adds a unit test ensuring Turtle configuration is set before Skulpt execution begins.
