Aquathermal heat chart should be dependent on has_aquathermal #4266

Not all regions in the ETM support aquathermal technologies. The heat_aquathermal_demand chart should be dependent on one of the has_aquathermal area attributes (e.g. has_aquathermal_potential_for_surface_water), so that it is not available for certain regions.

@KoenvanB which regions do not support aquathermal technologies? I don't see a dependent_on attribute in any of the relevant input_elements, see for example supply_heat_sources. As I understand it, the aquathermal area attribues only relate to the potential, which is why these area attributes are added as depedent_on to the relevant series in the chart, see heat_aquathermal_demand.

I had noted this down as a potential issue during our heat improvements project. I recall discussing that the aquathermal charts might not be relevant for some regions, but I have not actually checked which regions do not support aquathermal technologies. If you say such regions do not exist, then this is not an issue after all.
