fix: flatc fallback and skip custom-op test when test_lib missing

- _flatbuffer: when FLATC_EXECUTABLE is set but path does not exist (e.g.
  placeholder /path/to/flatc), fall back to 'flatc' on PATH so serialization
  tests pass without editing the environment.
- test_passes: skip test_to_out_variant_none_output when my_awesome_3rdparty_ns
  awesome_op is unavailable (test_lib not loaded under pytest).
