    RailEnv environment class.

    RailEnv is an environment inspired by a (simplified version of) a rail
    network, in which agents (trains) have to navigate to their target
    locations in the shortest time possible, while at the same time cooperating
    to avoid bottlenecks.

    The valid actions in the environment are:
        0: do nothing
        1: turn left and move to the next cell; if the agent was not moving, movement is started
        2: move to the next cell in front of the agent; if the agent was not moving, movement is started
        3: turn right and move to the next cell; if the agent was not moving, movement is started
        4: stop moving

    Moving forward in a dead-end cell makes the agent turn 180 degrees and step
    to the cell it came from.

    The actions of the agents are executed in order of their handle to prevent
    deadlocks and to allow them to learn relative priorities.
