fix exclusion for non overlapping geometries

[FabianHofmann]

and add convenience functions to ExclusionContainer class

Change proposed in this Pull Request

In recent eligibility calculations in pypsa-eur we saw bugs coming up, when the raster and the geometries are not overlapping. This changes fix this issue.

Additionally this change introduces two new functions to the ExclusionContainer class that ease the inspection of excluded areas in a geometry.

The example notebook for show-casing the land-use calculation was update to show the new functions.

Nice. Did you intentionally remove Macedonia North Macedonia from all examples and plots?

Not really, was there a renaming? It is still in the list of selected countries...

Yes, the country was officially renamed in 2019. Probably the name change took some time to propagate to the datasets.
