fix: optimization fail after restart (#1007)
Fix documentation for the loadforecast_power_w key.

Fix documentation to explain the usage of import file/ JSON string to
primarily initialise prediction data.

Fix code scanning alert no. 6: URL redirection from remote source

Enable to automatically save the configuration to the configuration file
by default, which is a widespread user expectation.

Make the genetic parameters non optional for better pydantic compliance.

- bump pillow to 12.2.0
- bump platformdirs to 4.9.6
- bump typespyyaml to 6.0.12.20260408
- bump tzfpy to 1.2.0
- bump pydantic to 2.13.0

# Configuration Guide
The configuration controls all aspects of EOS: optimization, prediction, measurement, and energy
management.
## Storing Configuration
EOS stores configuration data in a `nested structure`.
Some `configuration keys` are read-only and cannot be altered. These keys are either set up by other
means, such as environment variables, or determined from other information.
Several endpoints of the EOS REST server allow for the management and retrieval of configuration
data.
:::{admonition} Note
:class: note
Configuration changes inside EOS are updated in memory, meaning all changes will be lost upon
restarting the EOS REST server unless the configuration is saved to the `EOS configuration file`.
This can be done manually or is done automatically by default.
:::
### Save Configuration File
Configure EOS for `AUTOMATIC` (vs. `MANUAL`) configuration file update in case of configuration
changes.
Use endpoint `PUT /v1/config/file` to save the current configuration to the
`EOS configuration file`.
### Load Configuration File
Use endpoint `POST /v1/config/reset` to reset the configuration to the values in the
`EOS configuration file`.
## Configuration Sources and Priorities
The configuration sources and their priorities are as follows:
1. `Settings`: Provided during runtime by the REST interface
2. `Environment Variables`: Defined at startup of the REST server and during runtime
3. `EOS Configuration File`: Read at startup of the REST server and on request
4. `Default Values`
### Runtime Config Updates
The EOS configuration can be updated at runtime.
Use the following endpoints to change the current runtime configuration:
- `PUT /v1/config`: Update the entire or parts of the configuration.
:::{admonition} Note
:class: note
Those updates are not persistent automatically. However it is possible to save the configuration to
the `EOS configuration file`. See [Save Configuration File](#save-configuration-file) above.
:::
### Environment Variables
All `configuration keys` can be set by environment variables prefixed with `EOS_` and separated by
`__` for nested structures. Environment variables are case insensitive.
EOS recognizes the following special environment variables (case sensitive):
- `EOS_CONFIG_DIR`: The directory to search for an EOS configuration file.
- `EOS_DIR`: The directory used by EOS for data, which will also be searched for an EOS
configuration file.
### EOS Configuration File
The EOS configuration file provides persistent storage for configuration data. It can be modified
directly or through the REST interface.
If you do not have a configuration file, it will be automatically created on the first startup of
the REST server in a system-dependent location.
To determine the location of the configuration file used by EOS, ask the REST server. The endpoint
`GET /v1/config` provides the `general.config_file_path` configuration key.
EOS searches for the configuration file in the following order:
1. The directory specified by the `EOS_CONFIG_DIR` environment variable
2. The directory specified by the `EOS_DIR` environment variable
3. A platform-specific default directory for EOS
4. The current working directory
The first configuration file available in these directories is loaded. If no configuration file is
found, a default configuration file is created, and the default settings are written to it. The
location of the created configuration file follows the same order in which EOS searches for
configuration files, and it depends on whether the relevant environment variables are set.
Use the following endpoints to interact with the configuration file:
- `PUT /v1/config/file`: Save the current configuration to the configuration file.
- `PUT /v1/config/reset`: Reload the configuration file, all unsaved runtime configuration is reset.
### Default Values
Some of the `configuration keys` have default values by definition. For most of the
`configuration keys` the default value is just `None`, which means no default value.
