analyze_setup blocking argument does not work with parametrics

Description of the bug

The blocking=False argument was added to the analyze_setup method to allow PyAEDT to start solving one design or parametric and move into the next operation in the script, without having to wait for the previous setup to solve first.

This works if analyze_setup is given a 'Setup1' and blocking=False is used, however if the 'Setup1' is replaced with a 'ParametricSetup1' then it fails.

Steps To Reproduce

import os
from ansys.aedt.core import Maxwell3d

We have two Maxwell designs within the same project and wish to start the solve of both parametrics

at the same time

M3D = Maxwell3d(design="Maxwell3DDesign1",version="2025.1")

M3D.analyze_setup(name="Setup1") # Solves Design1/Setup1 'then' moves onto Design2/Setup1

M3D.analyze_setup(name="Setup1",blocking=False) # Starts solving Design1 'and' starts solving Design2 without waiting for first to solve.

M3D.analyze_setup(name="ParametricSetup1",blocking=False) # Blocking has no effect when applied to parametrics

M3D = Maxwell3d(design="Maxwell3DDesign2",version="2025.1")
M3D.analyze_setup(name="Setup1")

TFS Bugs 1226423 and 1226442 raised against native script API, to summarize here:
In 2023.R2 parametrics only solve sequentially (And not in Parallel) when False Bool is used oModule.SolveSetup("ParametricSetup1",False)

From 2024.R1-2025.R2 parametrics solve in parallel but only two at a time
Only two Parametrics 1 and 4 solving in parallel (1,2,3,and 4 should have started right after each other)
1 finishes
2 starts and now we have 2 and 4 solving in parallel
4 finishes
2 solving
2 finishes
3 starts solving
