Closes #253. Adds Floor/FloorOrCeiling: string (choices: "floor", "ceiling"). From the perspective of the living/conditioned space. Often it can be inferred from other information in the HPXML, but not always. This is particularly useful because a lot of standards (like IECC, ANSI 301, etc.) refer to ceilings and floors.

(I'm not calling it FloorType because that is being used here to support wood frame floors vs mass floors vs ...).

This is a far simpler implementation than adding an Enclosure/Ceilings element, which would require a lot of software updates.

Should we also deprecate (or mark as deprecated) the "other housing unit above" and "other housing unit below" AdjacentTo enumerations? This is a more flexible implementation and can be used for adjacent locations other than just "other housing unit".

One comment from WG: While we are changing FrameFloor to Floor, rename to a more generic term?
