Description
As suggested by @TobiasSpohn, a simple test to check that qudi-core installs properly can be helpful to identify issues with dependencies. This can be expanded to a basic check that the module manager loads as well. Also, there is another plan to do an automatic check that both qudi-core and qudi-iqo-modules pass their respective tests whenever a dependency has a version bump.
Motivation and Context
When preparing a release for Qudi, we often fix dependencies but there can be conflicts that are not easy to find without permuting various installations. Also, dependecies often undergo version bumps and can cause breaking changes that are hard to trace back. Running the tests when a version bump is detected would be helpful to isolate these incidents.
How Has This Been Tested?
The tests run as expected on Github Actions.
