Hope enable ManimCE

For that I think we need them to implement the checkpoint_paste() functionality

This is probably not something that is going to happen any time soon as the ManimCE version (as far as I know) doesn't currently support OpenGL which 3Blue1Brown's manimgl relies on to show the interactive preview. As behackl stated in this comment:

It mainly is a question of resources; we have been working on a refactor of the render loop for ages, recently with some more progress on our experimental branch. But progress is slow, and people get busy with other things. Help to get things done is, of course, always welcome.

Instead for ManimCE, you might want to explore the concepts of Sections. Also see here in the tutorials. You can also check out the manim-sideview VSCode extension.

Until then, this extension will focus on working with manimgl and there are currently no plans to support the community edition (at least I don't have plans to do so in the near future). Instead, we focus on improving the user experience for interactively previewing Manim code from manimgl as this example shows:

Feel free to reopen the issue in the future once ManimCE supports some kind of previewing built-in (maybe as well with an OpenGL renderer). In the best case, they provide a command similar to manimgl that we can just swap out in this extension to support ManimCE as well.
