Start With a Seed Population

[judahr]

Rather than starting with a random population, this allows you to start with a population of existing chromosomes. When initializing Population, you would supply a small population to jump start your algorithm.

This is useful for the following scenarios:

• Resuming a previous session
• Fine-tuning a selection of chromosomes
• If finding viable chromosomes on a random basis is costly

This includes updating to .Net 8.

@judahr can you check and resolve the continuous integration build failure?
