Missing Swig Functionality

[ptheywood]

Although Swig is now in master, some things are still missing

• [x] Alternate Array approach (#400)
• ~Shared memory brute-force message approach~
• [x] Missing Tests
  • [x] IO
  • [x] Bucket Msg
  • [x] ...?
• [x] Submodels
• [x] General tidying
• [ ] Ctest (#267)
• [x] Host function/condition 'callback' methods, should be renamed and use operator overloading? (was there a compatibility reason this can't be done?)
• [x] Visualisation

[Robadob]

IO tests and BucketMsg are working in this branch: https://github.com/FLAMEGPU/FLAMEGPU2_dev/tree/swig_tests_a Also added submodel support and a few tests, not sure it's worth wasting time reproducing all the submodel tests as most exist to test internal stuff unaffected by swig.

[ptheywood]

Generated lists of tests via gtest and pytest, with some manipulation to get the listings relatively close to each other.

Commands used:

./bin/linux-x64/Release/tests --gtest_list_tests

pytest --collect-only | sed -e 's/TestCaseFunction//g' | sed -e 's/UnitTestCase //g' | sed -e 's/[<>]//g' | sed -e 's/   test_/   /g'

Was agreed in meeting that further SubModel test duplication is unnecessary.

Alternate array interface is ready for merge in #400, should be merged in the next week or so.
