Modify electrified calibration method #143

Currently, all electrified cells are multiplied by an equal factor to reduce the population that is electrified and get to a closer tolerance value. This will cause that all cells that get electricity, will also get a second fuel but usually with a very minimum share. To solve it, we should implement a simple MCA where we weigh equally the different decision factors (i.e. distance to the electricity network, nighttime lights intensity and population density). For that, we would need to normalize all three factors first. Then, the cells with higher MCA values will get 100% electricity and the ones with lower values will be adjusted by a factor until the calibration tolerance is reached.
