Listing exchange keys not found instead of erroring in SDF

Would it be better to print the list of exchanges not found in a popup window and maybe drop them and go on with the calculation, instead of throwing an error? I think the error message may not be super clear to the user, plus it would not know what the faulty exchanges are. I had to modify the code to make it export df to find out what the missing keys were.

@nabilahmed739 Is this solved by your work in progress by any chance?

@romainsacchi Agree, I think we'll be seeing this issue more and more with more users using scenarios.

If you think the solution you wrote was good, feel free to make it a PR. Otherwise, making it a draft PR so I have an example of your ideas and can make something permanent would be nice. If you don't have the time, I'd be happy to take this over partially, if you can put some mockup in paint of what you'd like to see for example would already be really helpful!

I think there are a few things to consider:

1. We should run this check when calculate is pressed, as the reference flows can still change after scenarios are loaded. This is probably too expensive to check every time a ref. flow is changed.
2. Showing all missing exchanges may not be wise, as there could be 100K+, perhaps we should show the top 10 df.head and the total amount len(df[df.loc[:, EXCHANGE_KEYS].notna()]) of broken exchanges. Though a table is still something that will take a lot of space to properly show.
3. We could perhaps tooltip some troubleshooting suggestions like checking database names (and please suggest more options, you may have some more trouble shooting experience here).

@romainsacchi As a temporary fix, we now tell users how many of the total exchanges are broken. https://github.com/LCA-ActivityBrowser/activity-browser/blob/50f856455f556663d2d7f88e8fb86876478a33aa/activity_browser/bwutils/superstructure/manager.py#L127
