tdf#170682: Use Skia/raster in safe mode on Windows and macOS
After commits 07f480b7c85ccd7492428d5da96d68602c516eb8 (make skia
mandatory on MS-Windows, disable GDI backend, 2025-07-03) and
e7bd446baa292b65c8b0141f404ce9b684b0abff (tdf#167642 Restart in
safe mode doesn't launch safe mode on macOS, 2025-07-25), Skia is
enabled in safe mode on these platforms. After enabling it, there
was no code to handle safe mode - so initRenderMethodToUse would
enable HW acceleration (and potentially crash, if the reason to
start safe mode was crash caused by Vulkan / Metal).
This change returns RenderRaster from initRenderMethodToUse in
safe mode on these platforms.
