NSRDB data query no longer returning psm3 results #201

Description

@mjprilliman

PSM3 datasets have been deprecated and no longer show up in outputs of the NSRDB Data Query used in ResourceTools.py. Setting resource_type = 'psm3-tmy', which is the default when no resource_type is passed, causes an error.

Starting data download for solar using 1 thread workers. Getting list of available NSRDB files for 39.75, -105.22. List of available data saved to C:\Users\mprillim\sam_dev\pysam\data\PySAM Downloaded Weather Files/nsrdb_data_query_response_39.75_-105.22.json. Failed to find URL for resource_type = psm3-tmy, resource_year = tmy, resource_inverval_min = 60 Solar resource file does not exist. Skipping solar simulations.

NSRDB issue: NatLabRockies/developer.nrel.gov#382 (comment)
pvlib issue and PR: pvlib/pvlib-python#2581, pvlib/pvlib-python#2582

Expected behavior:
Definitely need to change the default, may need to make sure that any examples or remaining links to PSM3 in the code are updated.
I believe 'nsrdb-GOES-tmy-v4-0-0' is the default equivalent we would use

I am working on the fix for another project. There's some conversation in the NSRDB issue about additional errors, so it's possible this is expanded or made into multiple issues.
