Description
Allow HPXML files to include 3D coordinates for surfaces, in order to generate a model that visually represents the home. HPXML files without this information would continue to be modeled using the current "exploded" geometry.
There has been some progress here: https://github.com/NREL/OpenStudio-HPXML/pull/664. Seems like we could pretty easily create tests that verify that the surfaces in the model created by the BuildResHPXML measure perfectly match the final surfaces in the model created by the HPXMLtoOpenStudio measure.

Research direction
Review PR 664 and the BuildResHPXML and HPXMLtoOpenStudio measures first. Add tests comparing the surfaces produced by both measures, and verify that HPXML files with 3D coordinates create matching geometry while files without coordinates retain the existing exploded geometry.
