Replace pgf image-streaming warning by error.

anntzer · anntzer · commit 9ff89109e668 · 2021-05-17T19:30:01.000+02:00
Saving a pgf file with images to an in-memory buffer
(`import io; imshow([[1, 2]]); savefig(io.BytesIO(), format="pgf")`)
currently warns that this is not possible (because the image needs to be
written to the filesyste), but in fact an exception gets raised
immediately after when trying to construct `Path(self.fh.name)`, so we
may as well replace the original warning by an exception.
