Plot magnetogram on solar surface in PFSS 3d plot

[jgieseler]

The PFSS extension offers a 3d plot including the Sun, like the following (e.g., run PFSS analysis in streamlit beta version):

For this figure, provide the option to plot the magnetogram (that has been downloaded for the PFSS analysis before) on the solar surface. This is already accomplished with sunkit-pyvista's example https://docs.sunpy.org/projects/sunkit-pyvista/en/stable/generated/gallery/field_lines.html:

But that uses a different plotting engine. So either check if it makes sense to start with the sunkit-pyvista plot and add the solarmach functionality to that, or see how the plotting is done there and apply it to the current plotly figure used in solarmach. For the first option, one important question to check is whether sunkit-pyvista can be run within streamlit.

pyvista is so far only indirectly supported by streamlit (cf. e.g. https://discuss.streamlit.io/t/stpyvista-show-pyvista-3d-visualizations-in-streamlit/31802/23), so right now it's probably not a good idea to rely on it.
