Add local path to `simoc_abm` in Development #413

I'm realizing that now, when we make changes to simoc-abm, you can't preview them in the frontend locally.

When you run locally (is there an environment flag? where should we check?)
Check for a sibling-directory called simoc-abm (just like simoc-web)
If so, add it to the front of sys.path

This should cause the existing import statements (e.g. from simoc_abm.agent_model import AgentModel) to pull from the local instance instead of pip.

From meeting discussion:

Can do locally with pip -e flag (details to follow)
Should update Github Actions to allow deploying specific branches of simoc-abm

See https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/topics/local-project-installs/ If you use -e edits will be reflected in real-time without having to reinstall after each change.
