Related to #96. This might not be the end all be all fix here, but we're accounting now for situations where the garage and attic have a shared boundary. We're not updating the RC network, so basically neglecting the heat transfer between the two unconditioned zones, but that seems to be a pretty reasonable assumption.

Also added "living space" to the list of potential conditioned zones, since someone changed the name at some point.

…. We'll need to make an issue to deal with the longer term impact of this boundary, but this at least prevent throwing errors.

@jmaguire1 I think I should test this with a few homes before merging. Do you have an example from BEopt you can send?

@mnblonsky: Agreed, it's probably a good idea. Here's a home with no garage, one that partially protrudes, and one that fully protrudes from BEopt 3.0, for 1 and 2 story homes. I think this pretty much covers everything we intend to support, but if we run into any errors we'll figure out a fix:

no_garage.zip
1story_garage_full_protrude.zip
1story_garage_partial_protrude.zip
2story_garage_full_protrude.zip
2story_garage_partial_prodtrude.zip

Tested all the 5 cases - home with no garage, one that partially protrudes, and one that fully protrudes for 1 and 2 story homes and it ran successfully.
