.github/workflows/build-gcpy-environment.yml
- Added this configuration file for the "build-gcpy-environment"
  GitHub action.  This runs on pushes or PRs made to the main or
  dev branches.  The PR will use setup-micromamba to build the gcpy
  environment, import gcpy, and call a simple plotting script.

This merge brings PR #286 (Add GitHub action to build GCPy environment
and test installation, by @yantosca) into the GCPy 1.4.2 development
stream.

This adds a GitHub action to check if the GCPy environment (as specified
in the "environment.yml" file) will build properly, and if the "import gcpy"
command works.

This commit fixes the issue reported by @lizziel in #285.  The "results"
variable was being overwritten instead of appended to when plots are
generated sequentially (i.e. with "n_cores: 1" in the YAML input).

gcpy/benchmark/modules/run_1yr_*_fullchem.py
gcpy/benchmark_funcs.py
gcpy/plot/compare_*.py
- For the case when parallelization is off:
    1. Declare "results" as an empty list
    2. Append the output of the routine being called into "results"
  This will prevent a dictionary key error as described in #285.

This merge brings PR # (Fix dictionary key error when benchmark plots are
generated sequentially, by @yantosca) into the GCPy 1.4.2 development stream.

This fixes an error where a dictionary was not being properly appended
into a list in the benchmark plotting code, when parallel plotting
was disabled.

docs/environment_files/testing.yml

- Now peg the RTD package versions, as we know these work.
- Also peg matplotlib>=3.8

This merge brings PR # (Use pegged version numbers for the GCPy
environment; Also add testing environment without pegged versions;
Updated GitHub actions, by @yantosca) into the 1.4.2 development
stream.

This changes the default environment.yml to use pegged version
numbers in order to avoid build issues.  This now builds the
GCPy environment much faster.  The GitHub action that tests the
environment build now uses a matrix of different Python versions.

Also added a testing.yml file to specify an experimental GCPy
environment for use in GitHub actions.
