SLC: User-specified custom system level controller

SLC: User-specified custom system level controller

currently, users can specify a custom resource model, technology model, or system-level finance model. In the future, user's should be able to have their own/custom technology-specific control strategy and their own/custom system level controller model.

For a user to add a custom technology-specific control strategy, this can be done simply in H2IntegrateModel with the following change in collect_custom_models() from this:

self.create_custom_models(
            self.technology_config["technologies"],
            self.tech_parent_path,
            ["performance_model", "cost_model", "finance_model"],
        )

to this:

self.create_custom_models(
            self.technology_config["technologies"],
            self.tech_parent_path,
            ["performance_model", "cost_model", "finance_model", "control_strategy"],
        )

A more complex change would be needed for a user to specify a custom system level control strategy.

Start in H2IntegrateModel.collect_custom_models() and inspect how create_custom_models() handles the existing performance, cost, and finance models. Trace the technology_config and tech_parent_path inputs, then determine the entry points needed for a system-level controller. Done means users can specify both a custom technology control strategy and a custom system-level controller model.
