Support for Revit 2023 added

Issues addressed by this PR

Closes #1249

Test files

Standard test procedures are the main test content plus a dedicated script here.

Versions to test with most care:

• one version between 2018 and 2020 (to double check if nothing breaks)
• 2021 - this is a bridge version that suffers most by the lack of consistency in versioning of Revit API (see additional comments)
• 2023 - new one

Key focus areas for testing:

• handling of parameters (push new parameter definitions, update element parameters incl. parameters with units etc., pulling elements with parameters)
• pulling structural bars and panels based on the analytical model

Changelog

Additional comments

Three main reasons for meaningful code changes in this PR, beyond simply adding the new version:

• ParameterType enum is gone, replaced with ForgeTypeId (which now encompasses UnitType, DisplayUnitType and ParameterType)
• renaming GetSpecTypeId method to GetDataType
• Existence of SpecTypeId class in 2021 API without nested Boolean, Int, String etc. classes added in 2022, which means that my concept of mimicking that class for older versions exercised here does not work for Revit 2021
• Autodesk removed some structural analytical model classes from the API without prior announcement ❤️
