step! on init(NonlinearProblem(...) with NonlinearSolvePolyAlgorithmCache shows method error

[jamblejoe]

No method error for step! on init(NonlinearProblem(...) with NonlinearSolvePolyAlgorithmCache.

Minimal Reproducible Example 👇

From README:

f(u, p) = u .* u .- 2
u0 = @SVector[1.0, 1.0]
prob = NonlinearProblem(f, u0)
nlcache = init(prob);
step!(nlcache)

This one is kind of expected because it was not clear to me what a single step of a polyalgorithm means.

1. Is it single step of the current algorithm?
2. Is it a single step of all the algorithms?

Based on how solve works it should be the former but i was not too confident about this.

Single step of the current algorithm I think makes the most sense.
