47-add-self-hosted-runner

[BradyPlanden]

This PR adds a daily triggered unit test to be completed on the self-hosted M2 mini as well as the GitHub-hosted runners.

Note, the workflow names have been updated to align with their tasks. The dependency installations have also been refactored as there was redundant code. Closes #47

This is now ready for review. A few items to note:

• nlopt.py's support for Apple silicon hardware is quite poor. I've had to build from source onto the runner, which is required for each python version we wish to test. This is quite combersome, and is not a pleasant workflow for macOS users. I'll open an issue to discuss this problem moving forward. Edit: [Bug]: Nlopt install error for Apple silicon #63 is now open.
• At the moment, I've limited the runner to python 3.10. Once we sort out the above issue, this should be reverted to the original python matrix (as completed here)
