Part 1 of 3 of the CLI-mode bug sweep, split out of #15452 per review
feedback there. This PR contains the crash fixes.
## Fixes
- **`--outputdir`/`--datadir` with a missing parent directory aborted**
via unguarded `create_directory`. Directories are now created
recursively, with a graceful early exit and a specific error message if
creation fails.
- **`--slice` + `--export-3mf` segfaulted on a from-scratch slice**:
`ConfigOptionVector::get_at()` on an empty vector is `.front()` of an
empty vector (UB). Guards added for `filament_color`/`filament_id` at
the CLI call site, and inside `DynamicPrintConfig::get_filament_type`
for `filament_type`/`filament_is_support`/`filament_id`. Only *empty*
vectors are treated as missing — the existing clamp-to-front behavior
for merely out-of-range indices is preserved, so GUI callers are
unaffected.
- **OOB heap write from stale `filament_self_index` on
`--load-filaments`** (fixes#14181): a 3MF carrying more
`filament_self_index` entries than loaded filaments wrote past the end
of `old_variant_counts`. The guard validates both bounds — entries `>
filament_count` *and* non-positive entries (`< 1`), since a single `0`
in an otherwise-valid array indexes `old_variant_counts[-1]`.
- **Wrong printable-area check** for non-rectangular beds: use the
printable area's bounding box instead of a naive vertex calculation
(fixes#15363).
- **`nozzle_height` and `align_center` were not read into the arrange
config** in CLI mode.
