[STILL IN PROGRESS]

Description

• update_figures is the public interface for figure updates
• Enables customising of what happens before or after any other action (e.g. OPL/filter_action/parameter_action).
• Enables applying controls on button click.

Examples:

• Applying controls on button click -> updating only charts that use dynamic data frames without refreshing the page
• Updating certain figures after completion of actions, e.g. after completion of Kedro pipeline

TODO:

• - Clean the code
• - FInish PR description
• - Discuss action's name
• - TODOs added in the code
• - Tests
