Increase default costs for gas storage and allam cycle #1015

Changes proposed in this Pull Request

Increase the default capital cost for gas storage and the default marginal cost for allam cycle in prepare_sector_network.

For gas storage, the low capital cost of gas storage leads to a huge amount of stores. To avoid this, an increase is proposed.

For allam cycle, low marginal cost is extremely in favour of allam cycle. To avoid undesirable behaviour, the use of the gas value is suggested.

Not sure I understand the connection to the discount rate here, but 14 €/MWh/a is much too high for liquid fuels.
