Adds extended OSut constants.

In an effort to harmonize OSut, TBD & BTAP methods, de/up-rated materials have first thermal conductivity, then thickness adjustments (if required).

Removing the thickness check - a head's up if using OpenStudio versions < 3.5.X.

Osut's defaultConstructionSet failed to retrieve the applicable set for a surface's construction, as the method wasn't (also) looking for an inherited construction from its adjacent surface - not good. The OSut method has been fixed/tested. Adding here an extra fallback (just in case). This still needs a dedicated stress test.

Interzone subsurfaces between CONDITIONED vs UNCONDITIONED spaces (e.g. trap door in an attic floor) is a rare - but not odd - occurrence. TBD wasn't catching these cases properly, raising an ERROR in the process. This is now caught correctly.

An extra 4 edges (i.e. thermal bridges) around attic trap door - an example.

Forgot to harmonize these.

Without this check, adjacent surface constructions in UNCONDITIONED spaces (e.g. vented attics), would unintentionally inherit cloned uprated constructions (with a big fat warning). These would later be overridden by the derate method, leaving orphaned, cloned constructions in the model. Not good.
