Convert Polymetis Tutorial to Colab

[laikhtewari]

🚀 Feature

Convert the existing Jupyter notebook that describes how to use Polymetis with Habitat into a fully contained colab notebook.

Motivation

A tutorial for using Polymetis with Habitat exists as a Jupyter notebook. The Jupyter format was chosen since automatically installing and configuring Polymetis in a colab proved to be difficult as Polymetis strictly requires Python 3.8. However, this format requires the user to install and run the Polymetis server locally before proceeding with the rest of the notebook. Creating a colab that installs Polymetis, runs the server, and creates a client-side controller would provide a much better experience to the end user.

Pitch

Once Polymetis supports Python >=3.9, this issue may be directly tackled by simply installing Polymetis alongside Habitat as in the other colab tutorials. Alternatively, the colab version of Python can be changed to 3.8 (this was attempted unsuccessfully by manually editing the kernel in the notebook's metadata)

Alternatives

The current Jupyter notebook sufficiently explains Polymetis usage, but requires manual intervention by the user outside of the notebook.
