Brick v1.2.1

Brick v1.2.1 is the latest patch release of Brick since v1.2.0 in February 2021. It incorporates a variety of quality of life changes, bug fixes, class additions and other changes to increase the consistency, usability and correctness of Brick. These include, but are not limited to:

• An expanded set of entity properties with expanded sets of available units
• Extensions to the ontology covering items such as:
  • differential quantities (i.e. "differential temperature")
  • expanded electrical points
  • radiant systems equipment and points
  • photovoltaic systems
  • collection types, such as systems and loops
• Improved and expanded examples in the examples/ folder, which are now validated as part of the integration testing process
• Various typos, missing annotations, etc
