Integration of automated tests and benchmarks

[tgilon]

Context

Introduction: In the current PyPSA-Eur workflow, Snakemake is used as workflow management system. This tool ensures reproducible and scalable data analysis. In contrast, the TYNDP tool chain is structured around a set of different tools requiring manual data operation. This can lead to delays and human error.

Task: To make the contribution to the TYNDP more robust, the goal is to integrate all scattered workflows into the Snakemake management system. It will go beyond the integration of tools, and integrate automated data integration, testing and benchmarking. Additionally, ex-post calculations executed in the Supply tool will be integrated in the workflow.
