Document Distro Energy, default it to production and rename REQUEST_INTERVAL - #111

Conversation
The handler pointed at Distro's development environment unless DISTRO_ENERGY_BASE_URL was set. Production is the environment a deployment should reach by default; testing against dev now needs the variable set explicitly.
The request interval was the only Distro Energy setting without the DISTRO_ENERGY_ prefix, and the generic name could clash with other extensions reading the same manager config. Deployments that set REQUEST_INTERVAL must rename it; otherwise the 60 minute default is used.
Covers setup (portfolio, client key, environment variables, asset attributes) and how the handler works: submission schedule around the 09:00 gate closure, payload mapping from powerNet to signed kWh volumes, gap and DST handling, and failure behaviour. Linked from the EMS README.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Could the PR title be updated to reflect that this also changes Distro Energy configuration behavior, rather than being strictly a documentation change? For example: Document and update the Distro Energy integration.

ems/docs/DistroEnergyIntegration.md, modelled on the GOPACS doc, and links it from the EMS README. It covers setup and how day-ahead submissions are built and scheduled.Two small config changes came out of writing it:
DISTRO_ENERGY_BASE_URLnow points at production (https://ibt.prod.distro.energy/api/v1) instead of dev.REQUEST_INTERVALis renamed toDISTRO_ENERGY_REQUEST_INTERVALto match the other Distro settings. Deployments that set the old name need to rename it, or they fall back to the 60 minute default.
