examples-gallery

I think, by now we have some really nice simulations, and most of them are per #348. (There is a couple of PRs pending, where I tried to get them into this format)
If I understood correctly, running time is becoming an issue, when running the test suite.

I plan to look at the existing simulations to see where extra-constraints could be used advantageously, and hacks reduced.
Also, if they can be sped up more - but since we looked at this before I am afraid, not too much scope there.

Can / should we still add examples, or do we have enough by now?
My most recent PR shows a 'combination of hacks' to circumvent a current limitation with instance constraints - but do we want to show such hacks?

The purpose of the examples gallery is to show how to use all features of opty (or how to exploit it with hacks to solve problems it is not yet designed to solve). The purpose is not to demonstrate interesting dynamics, interesting optimal control problems, or to solve complex problems. We should add examples (and continue to) that demonstrate how to use the software. All examples should not be elaborate to facilitate learning.

The slowness of the test suite is an independent issue to the slowness of building the documentation.

I think clear to me, so I close it.
