Adds requirements.txt in root of repository to work around setup-python issue where it can't find a
requirements.txtin a non-python repo, which caused the actions to fail. The Python packages used in running the regression tests in the Github Actions were then moved into this file and the actions were updated to use it. Usingrequirements.txtsimplifies the Github Actions and provides one location to specify the required Python packages.Related issue, if one exists
