Stepping forward in upstream sim while paused doesn't change state of downstream sim #280

Problem description For https://github.com/phetsims/qa/issues/1100, while trying to replicate https://github.com/phetsims/gas-properties/issues/282 I came across another issue that occurs while paused. In the state wrapper, on any screen, if you use the step forward button in the upstream sim the particles do not update in the downstream sim.

Steps to reproduce

  1. In the state wrapper, on any screen press Pause in the upstream sim
  2. Add some particles
  3. Continuously press the Step Forward button--the particles do not update in the downstream sim.

Reproduced in main.

Note that #276 and #280 are both bad State Wrapper behavior when the sim is paused, and both related to the position of particles.

This is probably related to incorrect or missing use(s) of isSettingPhetioStateProperty, in relation to isPlayingProperty.

This was fixed by https://github.com/phetsims/gas-properties/commit/98b2d2d886e7f407188e5f70af451543a3ed1cec over in https://github.com/phetsims/gas-properties/issues/276. (I love it when that happens.)

@Nancy-Salpepi please verify, close if OK.
