Implement RALSD-score #21

Add the RALSD-score as defined in Eq. 8 of Harris et al., 2022 to the Scores-class as a mean to evaluate the spatial variability.

The initial idea was that the results of the spectral analysis when running the score-engine would be saved for later usage. However, this turns out to be farily complicated, especially in conjunction with the TemporalEvaluation-class, where no information about the saving directory is available.
It is also noted that run_spectral_analysis plots and saves temporally-averaged energy spectra, whereas averaging over the time-dimension is optional for the RALSD-metric.
Thus, the computational overhead for performing the spectral analysis twice is accepted for now.
