Determine availability matrix

The script performs a land eligibility analysis of what share of land is availability for developing the selected technology at each cutout grid cell. The script uses the atlite <https://github.com/pypsa/atlite>_ library and several GIS datasets like the Copernicus land use data, Natura2000 nature reserves, GEBCO bathymetry data

The copernicus land monitoring data is/can be fetched by the pipeline. The GEBCO data must currently be manually downloaded https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bathymetry_ data set with a global terrain model for ocean and land at 15 arc-second intervals by theGeneral Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans (GEBCO) https://www.gebco.net/data_and_products/gridded_bathymetry_data/_. <https://www.gebco.net/data_and_products/images/gebco_2019_grid_image.jpg>_ The natura data must be manually downloaded for now or retrieved with the data bundle
