Title: Finalizing the energy system data model and system factory

A new XML file named montreal_future_systems.xml is created where the elements of the file are the same as attributes of various classes. Therefore, the catalogue importer and energy system importer should have been updated accordingly. The catalog importer is organized in a general method so whenever someone wants to create a new catalogue they can use the created code as the blueprint.
