Problem: Currently there's not a quick way to rearrange ZoneHVAC equipment in the Thermal Zones tab without a measure. In order to switch the order of equipment the user must delete ZoneHVAC objects losing any user-specified inputs.

Rationale: Heating and cooling priority is set by the order of the ZoneHVAC objects assigned to a zone in the GUI. Not all users are aware of this and it can significantly affect model results.

Solution: Explicitly show the user heating and cooling priority. Add a Grid View feature to increase or decrease selected equipment priority.

Context: ZoneHVAC:EquipmentList

@jmarrec @macumber Do you have an idea of the kind of effort it would take to do this (and https://github.com/openstudiocoalition/OpenStudioApplication/issues/145)? Would it be on the scale of https://github.com/openstudiocoalition/OpenStudioApplication/pull/47?

These two would be massive usability gains in the app.

@macumber and I scoped it out quickly and we think there's almost a week of work for this one...
