Add more EMS Actuators #6626

Add new EMS available actuators. For example: Surface Outside Face * (Sunlit Area, Incident Solar Radiation, Incident Beam Solar Radiation, etc.)

From #6801, need a new calling point here in ManageHeatBalance just before InitHeatBalance, so that EMS overrides can have an impact on solar gains and daylighting, among other things that happen in InitHeatBalance. Suggest naming the new calling point BeginZoneTimestepBeforeInitHeatBalance. The existing BeginZoneTimeStepBeforePredictor happens too late in the cycle, so changes for example to a surface construction type don't have an impact until the next zone timestep.
