HELICS update from 2.5.2 to the latest version

temcdrm commented 3 years ago

TESP ships with v2.5.2 of HELICS because later versions were causing some problems. After updating the HELICS version in TESP, the pyhelics version support should also be evaluated:

pip3 install helics will install a binary version of the library. This should not be needed, since TESP includes a full HELICS build for EnergyPlus, GridLAB-D, ns-3 and Java federates.
helicsInputGetComplex now returns a tuple of 2 floats. In a pre-release candidate it returned a Python complex, and comments in the pyhelics code indicate that a future version it will again return Python complex. See substation.py and fncsPYPOWER.py for the function calls to change
