Yaml migration

1. Changes to VENTING_EMITTERS

• Update VENTING_EMITTERS to support rate TYPE and UNIT
• EMITTER_MODEL is deprecated and replaced by a new keyword EMISSION
• In the new keyword EMISSION the following should be specified:
  • NAME of the emission
  • RATE, including VALUE and optionally UNIT and TYPE

Previously, the format looked like this:

VENTING_EMITTERS:
  - NAME: <emitter name>
    CATEGORY: <category>
    EMISSION_NAME: <emission name>
    EMITTER_MODEL:
      - EMISSION_RATE: <emission rate [kg/day]>

But the new valid definition of VENTING_EMITTERS in the yaml is now:

VENTING_EMITTERS:
  - NAME: <emitter name>
    CATEGORY: <category>
    EMISSION:
      NAME: <emission name>
      RATE:
        VALUE: <emission rate>
        UNIT: <emission rate unit, default kg/d>
        TYPE: <emission rate type, default STREAM_DAY>

Example with the new yaml-definition of VENTING_EMITTERS:

VENTING_EMITTERS:
  - NAME: SomeVentingEmitter
    CATEGORY: COLD-VENTING-FUGITIVE
    EMISSION:
      NAME: CH4
      RATE:
        VALUE: 4
        UNIT: kg/d
        TYPE: STREAM_DAY
