ICF - Off-model calculator automation

This pull request updates the off-model calculator script: update_offmodel_calculator_workbooks_with_TM_output.py

Original behavior:

After generating model data using the R scripts for each calculator, the update_offmodel_calculator_workbooks_with_TM_output.py would update the off-model calculators. Then, each calculator would be opened and closed to update the formulas. Finally, the script summarize_offmodel_results.py was run to generate an output summary.

New behavior:

The update_offmodel_calculator_workbooks_with_TM_output.py updates the model data, SB 375 data directly from BOX folders. Then, programmatically opens and closes all off-model calculators and creates a summary output file in BOX. The summarize_offmodel_results.py script is now depricated.

Additional features:

• Each time the script runs, a unique identifier (UI) is created with the date and time. This is used to add entries to a master log located in BOX, where the master workbooks are stored.
• All off-model calculators are updated based on the ModelRuns_RTP2025.xlsx config file, J column when indicates "Yes".
• The SB375 file only updates the values for the corresponding year (e.g. 2035 or 2050).
• Special methods to update specific calculators can be done by the introduction of subclasses (e.g. script cshare.py updates the car share off-model calculator).
• Methods that are shared amongst calculators are in the super class OffModelCalculator in calcs.py.
• A variable locations.xlsx file is part of each master workbook folder. This indicates where all the data to update is located in for each off-model calculator.
