chore: mark skins unsupported, fix stale docs and preview size, prepare 3.4.0

Skins: no current scoreboard plugin builds on src.base_classes, so the only
skin hook (SportsCore._render_game) never runs. The plugin schema endpoint no
longer injects the Visual Skin dropdown, the store hides and refuses
"type": "skin" registry entries, and GET /api/v3/skins reports
supported: false with a message. Stored skin config still loads and saves.
src/skin_system/ and its tests are unchanged apart from the support flag.

Docs: check_plugin.py/render_plugin.py examples use --plugin; document
BasePlugin.get_update_interval() and its interaction with the manifest
update_interval; CLAUDE.md drops the stale template line number and
recommends display_manager.width/height.

Preview size: new src/display_geometry.py holds the size computation and
defaults DisplayManager uses (double-sided applied, chain_length default 2).
The web preview, /display/current, Starlark magnify default, sync handshake
and two dev scripts use it.

Release: __version__ 3.4.0, CHANGELOG 3.4.0 section plus a 3.3.0 tag note.

## Skin System (visual overlays for sports scoreboards) — NOT SUPPORTED YET
- Skins do not render with the current scoreboard plugins: the only hook is `SportsCore._render_game()` in `src/base_classes/sports/core.py`, and no current scoreboard plugin (monorepo or third-party registry) builds on `src.base_classes`
- So core doesn't offer them: no Visual Skin dropdown (`get_plugin_schema` skips `inject_skin_selector`), the store hides/refuses `"type": "skin"` entries, `GET /api/v3/skins` reports `"supported": false`. Switch: `SKINS_RENDER_SUPPORTED` in `src/skin_system/__init__.py`
- Stored `skin` / `skin_options` config values must keep loading and saving (base schema allows them; form saves deep-merge over the stored section)
- Skins live in `skins/<skin-id>/` (skin.json + skin.py), NOT in plugin dirs — plugin reinstall deletes plugin dirs
- Core: `src/skin_system/` (ScoreboardSkin, SkinContext, runtime); hook: `SportsCore._render_game()` in `src/base_classes/sports/core.py`
- Core: `src/skin_system/` (ScoreboardSkin, SkinContext, runtime); keep it and its tests
- Skins render onto `ctx.canvas` only; fallback to built-in renderer on `False`/exception (3 strikes disables for session)
- View-model guaranteed keys are frozen (see `test/test_skin_system.py::TestViewModelContract`) — renaming keys in `_extract_game_details_common` or sport extractors breaks published skins
