distribute electricity demand by JRC energy atlas
Closes #1810 .
Changes proposed in this Pull Request
Distributing country-level electricity demand time series to subnational model
regions of EU countries now uses data from the JRC Energy Atlas.
This dataset provides electricity consumption on a 1 km by 1 km raster for the year, which is more accurate than the previous NUTS3-based distribution.
Another dataset is used for Great Britain from the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero.
Other non-EU countries still use NUTS3-based distribution keys from GDP and population.

Area-normalized demand (master versus feature)

At first glance, i am very surprised how well the naive electricity demand downscaling by gdp/pop did in comparison to this detailed dataset.
