SDR: HPRTU measure: setting fan max flow the same as coil rated flow

[JanghyunJK]

Pull request overview

• putting this before I forget
• noticed our HPRTU model might have coil rated flow with value A while variable fan max flow with value B (i.e., so not matching)
• this might threw many errors during simulation such like this below:

** Warning ** GetDXCoils: Coil:Heating:DX:MultiSpeed="ZONE SMALLHOTEL STAIR A  - STORY GROUND PSZ-AC HEAT PUMP COIL" curve values
   **   ~~~   ** ... Defrost Energy Input Ratio Function of Temperature Curve Name = ZONE SMALLHOTEL STAIR A  - STORY GROUND PSZ-AC DEFROST_EIR output is not equal to 1.0 (+ or - 10%) at rated conditions.
   **   ~~~   ** ... Curve output at rated conditions = 0.152
   ** Severe  ** AirLoopHVAC:UnitarySystem = ZONE SMALLHOTEL STAIR A  - STORY GROUND RTU SZ-VAV HEAT PUMP
   **   ~~~   ** ... air flow rate = 1.2720342E-002 in fan object ZONE SMALLHOTEL STAIR A  - STORY GROUND PSZ-AC VFD FAN is less than the maximum HVAC system air flow rate in cooling mode.
   **   ~~~   **  The Cooling Supply Air Flow Rate is reset to the fan flow rate and the simulation continues.
   ** Severe  ** AirLoopHVAC:UnitarySystem = ZONE SMALLHOTEL STAIR A  - STORY GROUND RTU SZ-VAV HEAT PUMP
   **   ~~~   ** ... air flow rate = 1.2720342E-002 in fan object ZONE SMALLHOTEL STAIR A  - STORY GROUND PSZ-AC VFD FAN is less than the maximum HVAC system air flow rate in heating mode.
   **   ~~~   **  The Heating Supply Air Flow Rate is reset to the fan flow rate and the simulation continues.

• So this PR is trying to match fan max flow with coil rated flow
• Also, added an unit test to check that
• We can change the base branch to something else later

Pull Request Overview

This PR addresses an issue where HPRTU models had mismatched airflow rates between the coil rated flow and variable fan maximum flow, causing simulation errors. The fix ensures these values are properly aligned to prevent EnergyPlus warnings and errors.

• Sets fan maximum flow rate to match the highest stage flow rate from cooling or heating
• Adds unit test to verify airflow rates are consistent between fan and unitary system components
• Includes code style improvements and cleanup in test files

Reviewed Changes

Copilot reviewed 3 out of 3 changed files in this pull request and generated 2 comments.

File	Description
measure.rb	Added logic to set fan maximum flow rate to match the highest stage flow rate
measure_test.rb	Added unit test to verify airflow consistency and various code style improvements
measure.xml	Updated version ID and checksums to reflect code changes
