fix(agent): restore be_output and test DeepL error return (#16363)

## Summary

#16332 fixed the missing `return` in DeepL's except branch, but
`ComponentBase.be_output` was removed during the agent refactor (#9113)
while several components still call it. DeepL (and other tools) would
raise `AttributeError` before any error message could be returned.

- Restore `ComponentBase.be_output` as `pd.DataFrame([{"content": v}])`
(same as pre-refactor behavior)
- Add regression test that `_run` returns the `**Error**:` message when
translation fails

Related to #16329

## Test plan

- [x] `test_run_returns_error_on_translation_failure`
- [x] Existing `test_deepl.py` check() tests still pass
