convert all records to their "true gran" for easier connection btw depreciation data and FERC steam #53

The EIA master unit list (MUL) contains all possible granularities of plants, but sometimes many of those are duplicates. We have incorporated a flag for when a MUL record is a "true granularity" (relevant columns= ['true_gran', 'appro_part_label', 'appro_record_id_eia']).

When trying to connect the deprecation data to the FERC1 steam records, if we first convert all MUL connections to their "true gran"s then we can avoid some headaches.

wahoo! doing increased the number of records that match perfectly from 9% to 20%. Progress. I'll take it.
