fix(visualization): define the render_error the table charts already call

[kz930]

What changes were proposed in this PR?

TablesPlotOpDesc and FigureFactoryTableOpDesc both generate a TableChartOperator that calls self.render_error(...) on two branches, but neither generated class defines that method. Each now defines it, in the same shape the other visualization operators use.

Why are the changes needed?

Both branches are reachable — an empty input table, and a value column left with only non-positive or null values. Executing each operator's generated module against an empty frame raises AttributeError: 'TableChartOperator' object has no attribute 'render_error' instead of showing the message the code was written to show. With the definition added, the same run yields Tables Plot is not available. Reason is: input table is empty.

Any related issues, documentation, discussions?

Closes #7244

How was this PR tested?

WorkflowOperator/scalafmtCheckAll and both operators' descriptor specs (14 tests). Each spec now asserts its generated class defines render_error and formats the operator's name. Separately, each generated module was run locally against an empty frame before and after the fix, with the pytexera and plotly imports stubbed — the before run reproduces the AttributeError, the after run returns Tables Plot is not available. Reason is: input table is empty.

Does this PR introduce any user-facing change?

Yes. Those two cases now render the intended message instead of failing the operator. Nothing changes on the path that produces a chart.

Compared against main ae17c8f benchmarked on this same runner, so the delta is largely free of cross-runner hardware noise. The "7d avg" column still reflects the gh-pages dashboard. Treat <±5% as noise unless repeated.

The missing method is now present in both generators. Please turn the manual reproduction into a regression test that executes the empty table and filtered empty branches. Those are the paths that failed before.

[kz930]

Done — each operator's own spec now executes both branches. The generated module runs beside stdlib-only stubs for pytexera and plotly with a fake table, so an empty input and a table the dropna leaves empty each assert the rendered message; reverting either definition fails exactly these two cases with the original AttributeError. No package installs are involved, so they stay in the same job as the rest of the suite.

[carloea2]

The implementation fixes the missing method, but the new tests still do not execute either empty table branch. They only search the generated source for method text, so both tests would pass even if an empty input still failed at runtime. Please execute the generated operator for the initially empty case and the empty after filtering case, as described in the response.

[aglinxinyuan]

It's very similar to this one: #7328
I think it's a fix. @Yicong-Huang can confirm.

[xuang7]

I'm leaning toward classifying this as a feature PR, although I agree that it improves error handling. Before the change, running TablesPlot on an empty table caused a raw AttributeError; after the change, it returns the intended error message. The change mainly improves the failure experience rather than fixing a harmful failure.

Since the risk is very low, we may not need to backport it. I would also be fine with backporting it.
