Description
Patch to fix the pending item from #425 (comment)
We were invoking runAll() / runUpto() in the Java FX Application thread, which was causing varPanel / logPanel updates to be taken up only after all steps are executed. Introduced RunService to offload these (runAll/runUpto) and free Java FX Application thread.
Also added a unit test case (not sure of what happens when running tests on a headless / no-display system). It ran fine in my local setup, will wait for the test results and then may be remove the newly added test.
