generate_random_wt_layout - why a wind rose for each turbine? #70

In plant_flow, what is the idea behind having a separate wind rose for each turbine in generate_random_wt_layout?

Well, in most of my test cases wind turbines have different wind roses. Especially onshore. There are two main AEP assemblies, one is using only one wind rose, assuming it's the same for all turbines, and the other one is using a different wind rose for each turbine.

The wind rose need some refactoring too. Right now there is two "standards", the weibull kind and the frequency array kind. The two generic AEP assemblies use the frequency array, but I actually find it more useful to use the weibull kind in TopFarm.
