[0.2-14] Allowing Other_1, Other_2, and some other small fixes

[retostauffer]

@gabroko

I have been playing around this morning on my development branch fixing/implementing what you've told me the other day. Will open an issue for this to keep track. These changes will enter 0.2-14 (not yet in the main head branch) but can technically be tested by installing the development branch (tough, might undergo additional changes)

• install_github("IEA-EBC-Annex86/annex", ref = "devel")

Broken documentation links

• Thanks for pointing this out, configfile.html does no longer exist, should point to config.html. I've adjusted the vignettes, will be fixed when 0.2.14 is released.

The "Other" variables

You asked if we could allow the user to specify multiple Other variables for the same study/home/room (up to 0.2-13 only one is allowed; see also #20).

• The XLSX template Definitions sheet now contains a new column "Allowed" which can be 1, 10, or 100.
  • If 1: Can only occur once (e.g., as "Other").
  • If 10: Can occur up to 11 times (as "Other", "Other_0", "Other_1", ..., "Other_9".
  • If 100: Can occur up to 101 times (same system as above).
• Implemented the logic and - for testing - allowing for 10 allowed occurrences for PMOther and T, as well as up to 100 allowed occurrences for Other (testing!).

Update: Old gist (simulated test) no longer works as the variables now must contain underscores (not implemented when writing that small test).

Information/units for "Other" variables

• What is still missing is that we allow the user to provide additional information on the Other varaibles in the config file to specify their own boundaries etc (see issue improvement ideas for annex_prepare / annex / annex_stats #20).
