Description

• This pull request introduces a new configuration system in the application that supports multiple formats: *.ini files, JSON files, and Python dictionaries;
• It includes format detection, a unified interface for loading configurations, robust data validation for each format, and ensures backward compatibility with existing *.ini configurations;
• From now on, the valid value ranges for rasters and variables are available and can be configured in appsettings.json (mapped to rubem.configuration.app_settings import AppSettings);
• From now on, tests will be implemented using pytest;
• Added "--skip-inputs-validation" option in CLI to skip the verification step.
