Description

Extend modelling to include an option where the dump resistor value can vary with heating (or at least support both constant-R / exponential decay and voltage-clamped / linear decay).

Context

See issue #523

Research direction

Start by reading issue #523 and the attached 2-phase_quench_model.pdf, then locate the existing quench-discharge modelling entry point. Define the required option and validation cases for temperature-dependent resistance, constant-R/exponential decay, and voltage-clamped/linear decay; the work is done when the selected model is implemented and its behavior is tested.
