Contributor guide

Research direction
Read the linked discussion to understand the proposed methodology for incorporating terrain/slope constraints into land availability for renewables. Investigate how to integrate topographic data (e.g., from DEM) into the existing PyPSA Earth workflow and implement a constraint that excludes areas with slopes above a threshold.
