Problem description

While the lithium_ion_battery.m example is available in MATLAB, it is missing from Python, meaning that corresponding code portions are not covered by CI, see discussion in #1256 (specifically, the only instances where lithium_ion_battery.cti/yaml are used are the MATLAB example, plus a conversion test that is not designed to probe any meaningful features).

While this isn't a bug specifically, I view it as a critical omission that hopefully will get fixed prior to the release of 2.6. At the minimum, the MATLAB test should be converted to a unit test similar to test_kinetics.py::TestSofcKinetics.
