Add method to check if the microgrid is connected to the grid #787

What's needed?

Currently, the user needs to walk the component graph to check if there is a grid component meaning that the microgrid is connected to the grid.

Proposed solution

Implement the is_connected() method in Grid as a shortcut to find out if the microgrid is connected to the grid or not. Alternatively the method can be implemented in the component graph.

Additional context

FYI @shsms @matthias-wende-frequenz, it would be good to confirm if you think this is a good idea or if you see any problems with it.
