Add a "check connection" button for API Services

I started working on this and think it makes more sense to put the Test button on the page for a Language Model.

Or we could have it on the API Service page and get the best model (or first one if no best) and try that, if you want.

Oh interesting, I see what you're saying. I forget who suggested this feature and exactly what context it came up, but looking at these pages it feels like these are both places where having a Test button could be helpful.

My suggestion would be to style it like the "How do I get?" text. So basically:

On the API Service editing screen, to the right of the "URL" text label would be blue underlined text that said "Test URL". This text would probably need to be greyed out or completely hidden until something had been entered into the text input since it doesn't make sense until text is entered, plus someone's attention will be drawn to it the moment it appears. Clicking this blue link could add additional default colored text afterwards which is simply "..." and then as soon as the test succeeds or fails the response appears afterwards.

On the Language Model screen this could be on the "API name" line.

So a completed test could look like this:
