Description

Add pickle support to user-facing classes and states.

We have to check if that is entirely possible and if things like file-handles need to be restored/properly shut down/etc. Probably depends on #171 as well.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how pybind11 pickle support works, identify which user facing classes and states need pickling, and verify the dependency on issue #171.
