Issue227 - Turbine, Panel and CSP Installation Configs from local path

[LukasFrankenQ]

Closes #227.

Change proposed in this Pull Request

Methods get_windturbineconfig, get_solarpanelconfig and get_cspinstallationconfig load yaml files based on the passed configuration name. Now, additionally, the methods recognize if a path to a locally stored config is passed. The file is then loaded instead of a predefined config.

Description

The methods run Path([the local path]).exists() to check if the path exists. If not, the methods assume that the user passed the name of a config, and proceeds as before the change.

Motivation and Context

This is a small change, proposed a while ago by @fneum. I seems like a sensible addition.

How Has This Been Tested?

I checked all three functions to make sure that both old and new behaviour are behaving as expected.
