Adding load mitigating controls and OWC

[dforbush2]

This is an updated applications case from https://marineenergyjournal.org/imej/article/view/68 updated to WEC-Sim v5.0. It works. Documentation is included.

Also included the OWC orifice example from OREC training reworked slightly for applications case

Thanks for developing this application case @dforbush2
I have reviewed the documentation and I have run the cases on my laptop with no issues. The documentation is well detailed and easy to follow. This PR is ready to merge.

Hey @dforbush2 A couple comments before merging:

OWC:

• Is there a difference between OWC/OrificeModel/GBM1.slx and OWC/OrificeModel/GBM1_2022b.slx? Can we remove *_2022b.slx?
• Is there hydroData for the OWC case?

Both OWC and Load Mitigating Control:

• We'll need tests for both cases. I can add the test files and add them to the CI.
• The LTI block in the OWC case requires the Control systems toolbox. Are there any other toolboxes required for OWC or Load_Mitigating_Controls? We should note that in the README's for users and test set-up.

Hi @akeeste

1. No. Just only one of those is built using the correct library version.
2. This is a WAMIT test geometry test17a. I will add it in to the repo, I think it was foiled by the .gitignore.
3. I'll have to add some test files.
   Good catch on the LTI...I can (and should) actually remove this dependency.

@dforbush2 There's a ton of other test fixes in #49. So as long as tests for these cases can pass, the rest should work once merged in dev.

[dforbush2]

Looks like I still need a test for the load mit controls...it also looks like the tests I wrote for the OWC don't actually run in the unit tests, so I could use some help here with the unit test code.

[akeeste]

@dforbush2 I'll take a look at the test files and push/PR to your branch if possible.

[akeeste]

@dforbush2 I made updates for these tests. See dforbush2#1. Once that PR is merged into your branch, we can merge this PR into WEC-Sim Apps

[akeeste]

Merged dev into this branch to resolve conflicts. I will merge once the tests pass

[akeeste]

@dforbush2 The Load Mitigating Control and OWC tests are passing, so i will merge this PR.

@kmruehl The MOST test is not passing, apparently because of some small numerical differences. There is an optimization routine for some of the pre-processing files, I'm guessing there is some variation in the optimization outcome, which is slightly changing the end results (on the order of 0.01%). A couple ideas: we could add the pre-processed files to the repo and test based on those inputs, and then afterwards test that the pre-processing steps work, or decrease the accuracy required by the tests

Thanks @akeeste. Please look into solutions with the failing MOST tests because they are not failing on master and dev. Inlcuding @jtgrasb for awareness.
