test: green the first Windows CI run + skip non-portable goldens on CI

Two fixes from the first real CI execution of these suites:
- windows_pty_test: the non-existent-executable test asserted errno==2
  (ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND), but Dart FFI doesn't reliably preserve GetLastError
  across the lookupFunction boundary (CI Windows returned 0). Assert the
  PtyException op instead. The ConPTY suite otherwise passed 21/22 on real
  Windows with no stall — supporting the accumulation (not single-run) freeze
  theory.
- golden_harness: platform goldens are font-render-dependent across machines
  (dev Fedora vs GitHub ubuntu-latest), so run them locally only and skip on CI
  (the CI env var). Goldens stay a local pre-merge check.
