More realistic AC offshore potentials for Germany and elsewhere in Europe

At the moment all sea area within 80 km of each country that is not in a Natura 2000 nature reserve (see https://nworbmot.org/natura_2000_reserves.png for the excluded areas) is allotted to AC-connected offshore wind, and then 30% of that area is actually used (to take account of other uses like shipping lanes, etc, leading to a density of 3 MW/km^2 in the allowed areas). Beyond 80 km, offshore is connected with DC, which has higher costs because of the AC-DC converter stations. These settings can be found in config.yaml. The 80 km limit was based on Figure 34 of
https://ec.europa.eu/energy/sites/ener/files/documents/2014_nsog_report.pdf
which plots technology choices for different parks.

This leads to tens of GW expansion potential for AC-connected offshore for Germany in the North Sea, whereas in reality Germany has very little AC-connected offshore (a few parks in the North Sea and all the parks in the Baltic Sea) but a large amount of DC-connected offshore (only in the North Sea so far), see this map of current and planned offshore for Germany and the various exclusion areas:

There are two sources of problems:
i) There are some exclusion areas we're missing.
ii) Based on the map, a 50 km subsea limit for AC would better represent the existing and planned AC-DC split in the North Sea. This also fits with UK parks, which are all AC-connected, with the farthest existing park at 34 km from shore (Greater Gabbard 1). The discrepancy with the 80 km source above could be that the 80 km also included onshore.
iii) The 50 km limit should be measured from the mainland, NOT from the Fresian islands or Heligoland.
iv) 30% area usage may even be too strict: @fneum reports that with a 30 km limit, the potentials for Germany are 23.3 GW for AC-connected offshore wind (too high, at least for North Sea, I don't know about Baltic), and 67.0 GW for DC-connected offshore wind (seems too low to me, but I need a better reference).

Solutions:
i) To find the additional exclusion areas, @fneum suggested the following references:

ii) This is easy to change in config.yaml.
iii) As far as I can tell, the country shapes in scripts/build_shapes.py include everything with an area bigger than 0.1, which may include islands. Islands should be excluded from the 50 km limit (which is applied in scripts/build_renewable_profiles.py).
iv) Perhaps increase density from 3 MW/km^2 - need another reference for this.
