API implementation of AgentSet and Agents

1) Agents of the same type are stored in a pd.DataFrame of the AgentSetDF class. This avoids having many missing values (which would occupy memory) if Agents or different type were stored in the same Dataframe. All agents of the model are stored in the AgentsDF class as a list of the AgentSetDF, which virtually supports the same operations as AgentSet.
2) Went with encapsulation, avoiding extensions and subclassing because they didn't always work well with storing additional attributes and it wasn't easy to extend the created classes by subclassing (as it's often done with base mesa.Agent).
3) All operations are inplace (no immutability): if we wanted to keep immutability, there couldn't be method chaining with encapsulation (since methods would have to return a pd.Dataframe) If we were to return an AgentSet. I think it also aligns well with base mesa API.
4) The "select" operations was changed to selecting "active_agents" (by a latent mask) which are the ones effectively used for the "do" operations (since usually you don't want to remove the other agents from the df but simply use a method on a part of agents of the DF). If you wanted to remove the agents you could simply use the "discard" or "remove" methods.
