Refactoring room air balance

See https://github.com/lbl-srg/modelica-buildings/issues/1129#issuecomment-393285857 for open tasks.

Updated to prototype to EnergyPlus 8.9.

Multiple FMUs: Looked into mopen to open multiple DLLs and added unit tests. Kyle reproduced the problem of Thierry. However, mopen is Linux only (as opposed to popen). Root of issue are the global data of EnergyPlus. Global variables can be marked as "thread local only", and this seems to work (but not full tested yet). But on OS X, stock E+ crashes with this change with runtime error. Also stock EnergyPlus does not pass some "sanitizers" for memory violation. Next Kyle will clean up EnergyPlus first to pass tests, then get back to multiple building instances.

Optimica license protection

Discussions started with Hubertus, Kyle and Christian. Christian to write proposal for how to protected Optimica distribution. Goal is design specification as opposed to full implementation for this month.
