Fix successive calls of :meth:`.LinearTransformationScene.apply_matri…

…x` (#3675)

* docs: improve installation FAQ's

* I have potentially resolved the issue when in LinearTransformationScene between two animations of transforming space we invoke the self.wait()

* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks

for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci

* added another solutions in comments, added tests and removed wrong files from git

* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks

for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci

* yeah , i forgot to save the file xd

* fixed the test, removed the comments my in changed file

* fix test and speed up test time for test_apply_matrix

* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks

for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci

* fixed the test, removed the comments my in changed file

* fixed the test

* Revert "docs: improve installation FAQ's"
