Skip interactive backends in 3.14 tests

jkseppan · jkseppan · commit ef09f4e2a3b0 · 2025-07-02T09:07:03.000+03:00
The dependency wheels are not available for 3.14, and
the tkagg tests fail by running into timeouts. Use the
same if statement already used for 3.13t.

Also skip interactive-backend tests on the 3.14 pre-release.
