Input thermal model using YAML file

    > Wait a minute, instead of `model_description`, I should be actually describing the HSN's and IFN's being calculated? Something like `SSI-MS-Z+`

Like I said, the model_description is basically a hierarchical description of the model. At the top level you specify the HSN, at the second level the IFN attached to the HSN, and on the third level the links from the IFN to another IFN. I.e. something like this

• HSN1 (+ HSN parameters)
  • HSN1-IFN1 (+ IFN parameters)
    • link to HSN2-IFN1 (+ link parameters)
    • link to HSN3-IFN2 (+ link parameters)
  • HSN1-IFN2 (+ IFN parameters)
    • links ...
  • HSN1-IFN3 (+ IFN parameters)
    • links ...
• HSN2 (+ HSN parameters)
  • HSN2-IFN1 (+ IFN parameters)
    • links ...
  • HSN2-IFN2 (+ IFN parameters)
    • links ...
  • IFNs ...
• HSN3 (+ HSN parameters)
  • HSN3-IFN1 (+ IFN parameters)
    • links ...
  • HSN3-IFN2 (+ IFN parameters)
    • links ...
  • IFNs ...
• HSNs ...

seeing it like this, the ultimate user-friendly way to input it all would be using a YAML file, but it's maybe a bit late for that now
