Logical flow

Summary of changes

This PR adds a new dispatch model to osier called LogicDispatchModel that follows a hierarchy of rules to dispatch energy. It is much faster (~4x speedup) than the original DispatchModel but it is myopic and therefore results may be sub-optimal. Other benefits include:

• No solver required, commercial or otherwise. Thus osier is more self-contained.
• Easier to understand since the mathematics have been reduced to a sequence of comparisons.
• Drop-in replacement for DispatchModel. No change to syntax.
• Enables parallelization of the genetic algorithm driving the CapacityExpansion model.

Note

There are a couple of new tests for new functionality. These tests should exceed the minimum code coverage required by the pyproject.toml file (75%). More tests are desired, but not necessary, here.
