substitute-h2k.rb: add data to indicate presence of permafrost by climate location, allow below grade insulation configurations to be picked based on permafrost data

Jeff confirms that permafrost calculations have a huge impact on results.

need to add/modify data in HOT2000 xml file `

Perma-frost soil Pergélisol

`

The attached files show the impact in heating energy based on 4 archetypes for several locations

[julia-purdy]

my plan is to add a check for HDD and add permafrost if the location is within the area of continuous permafrost. searching Geological Survey of Canada for that information

thinking of something along these lines: `

Setting Hash for permafrost locations

$PermafrostHash = { "YELLOWKNIFE" => "discontinuous" , "INUVIK" => "continuous", "CHURCHILL" => "continuous", "KUUJJUAQ" => "continuous" , "DAWSONCITY" => "discontinuous" , "NORMANWELLS" => "discontinuous" , "BAKERLAKE" => "continuous", "IQALUIT" => "continuous", "RESOLUTE" => "continuous" , "CORALHARBOUR" => "continuous", "HALLBEACH" => "continuous" } `

to do: add a comment to HTAP output to indicate permafrost soil condition
