Test SolaraViz in CI

[EwoutH]

Initial attempt at testing the visualisation in CI.

@rht I can't get the imports working properly. I tried a lot of things, but somehow it always end up with one or more import errors. I know you're good at this, could you take a look?

Sorry pushed the wrong version, this is my attempt that got closest. It currently fails on imports in the models:

    import networkx as nx
    import solara
>   from aco_tsp.model import AcoTspModel, TSPGraph
E   ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'aco_tsp'

    from mesa.visualization import SolaraViz, make_plot_measure
>   from model import GameOfLifeModel
E   ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'model'

examples\conways_game_of_life_fast\app.py:2: ModuleNotFoundError

Hey @EwoutH, this file is written greatly. I was able to run step tests for the examples over on the main repository after a little tweaking.
But I wanted to ask how can something like model.step() go wrong that we need tests for it? Are there any cases where everything seems fine but model.step() gives error?

Thanks, I think conceptual my approach is very sound. Unfortunately, I tried a million versions and never got it to work.

That's awesome!

Some of the visualisation logic only gets ran / evaluated when actually performing a model step (I think). So in this case we should be testing if the visualisation updates correctly after a model step, not the model step itself.
