Fixes #13447
What does this implement/fix?
This PR improves the error raised when plotting topomaps with duplicate EEG
electrode positions caused by mixed 10–20 naming conventions
(T3/T4/T5/T6 vs T7/T8/P7/P8).
Instead of a generic "overlapping positions" error, a clearer and more
actionable message is raised that explains the naming conflict and suggests
how to resolve it by dropping one set of channels.
Additional information
A regression test has been added to ensure the clearer error message is raised
when mixed 10–20 electrode naming conventions are present.
