Description

In this PR, I'd implement feature requests/fix bug reports received from users:

• load_biomodel utility: Extend support for BioModels starting with MODEL*.
• search_models tool:
  • Replace markdown tables with dataframes.
  • Increase result limit to 100 (upper limit in basico).
• Model handling: Fix support for models that don't return parameters (e.g., BioModel 10).
• Plotly charts: Improve x/y axis labels to be more descriptive, including units.
• steady_state tool: Display steady-state table instead of just a tool message.
• Starter message: Add sample question on parameter scanning and annotations.

Fixes # (issue) NA

Nice fixes. I can't wait to try the one for the different biomodel starting ID strings 😉. I only had a few minor comments.
