Allow muliplier for DHW-profiles #71

What is the problem?

There is no clear way to implement domestic hot water profiles for multi-family homes without implementing a new ProfileRecord that includes e.g., a multiplier for the mass_flow_rate according to https://www.waermepumpe.de/fileadmin/user_upload/waermepumpe/07_Publikationen/BWP_LF_TWW_2019_Druckvorlage_neu.pdf

How do we want to solve it? Describe the solution you'd like

Although not quite realistic in the dynamics. For dimensioning the DHW-Storage for multi-family homes, using a multiplier is a common approach. (https://www.waermepumpe.de/fileadmin/user_upload/waermepumpe/07_Publikationen/BWP_LF_TWW_2019_Druckvorlage_neu.pdf)
I tested it by adjusting the model and introducing a scaling factor for the m_flow.
Accordingly, m_flow_nominal changes and lead to a larger QDHW_flow_nominal.
Also, multiplying VDHWDay and QCrit should finally lead to properly sizing the DHW-Storage.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Alternatively, one could implement additional DHW-"comfort"-Profiles like XL and XXL. However, they may cover one or two more cases but need to be more flexible in scaling for more dwellings.

Additional context

I tried the solution, and it worked. However, my entire Project is currently on an older version, and I cannot estimate if the solution meets the current requirement. So, I'd like you to please take this as a suggestion. Keep on going. BESMod seems to have become a valuable tool already :)
