Should it be possible to run Merit on the 'present' graph as well as the 'future' graph? #124

Currently, Merit is set up to run on the 'future' instance of the graph only. One reason to extend Merit to also (optionally) run on the 'present' instance of the graph would be to calculate the average price of electricity in the start-year and show it in the front-end (see https://github.com/quintel/merit/issues/61).

@antw @dennisschoenmakers do you have opinions on the matter? Reasons why we should or shouldn't want to do this? Estimates of the work involved?

In order to fix the issue in https://github.com/quintel/etsource/pull/895#issuecomment-63450866, we will have to make the Merit gem calculate on both present and future graphs.

So, the answer to the question is "Yes!"
