MRT calculations and radiant exchange calculations are not consistent #9631

Issue overview

  1. Seems like there should be one place to store the current surface emissivity, and the current area*emissivity, and this should be used by all relevant calculations.
  2. Seems like there should be one place to update the emissivities and A*Es based on status change due to window shading or EMS.
  3. Then every function that needs it can simply grab the current Surface.AE values and use them directly with no checks on recalcs or construction numbers etc.
  4. More??
