JuPedSim verification

Verification tests of JuPedSim against the test cases of IMO MSC.1/Circ.1533, RiMEA 4.1.1, NIST TN 1822 and ISO 20414:2020. Each test page gives the definition, the scenario, our result and the notebook. It also states the pass rule and whether the standard gives that rule or the suite chose it. The results come from the run named in the footer, not from a live check. This is verification, not validation: no comparison with experimental data has been run. Code and scenarios: jupedsim-web-community on GitHub.
