PCE counts handler #181

We can currently extract link vehicle counts from Elara, however, to understand or analyse congestion effects, we need to be looking at PCE counts. This could be its own handler, or a switch in the LinkVehicleCounts one.

my knee jerk preferance is for a stand alone LinkPCECounts handler. I think it is easier for users to understand and use, as opposed to passing options via the complex config form.

linkVehcileCcounts' is typically set as 'car', and/orbus. Not sure it even works withall`? If you ran with all you would also be returning trains etc, which might not be of interest. I think "all" might simply break the vent handlers factory.

As a hack could calc PCE from the above, ie (1 car) + (2.8 bus) etc. Elara already scales stuff as required (only cars).

If we still are happy for PCE to be calculated for individual modes eg LinkPCECounts:car and LinkPCECounts:bus then can simply add as a column to existing?
