Improve "sfincs.inp" file

[roeldegoede]

Kind of request

Changing existing functionality

Enhancement Description

Make the general input file more user-friendly, e.g.:

• Only keep often used numerical parameters
• Maybe add the parameters for extra output (and put the defaults to 0)
• Add descriptions and unit as comments to the file (should first be supported by SFINCS)

Use true/false instead of 1,0.

Maybe have the possibility to write a full input file or an input file with often-used parameters.

Use case

Each model

Additional Context

To be discussed with SFINCS development team

Pydantic_settings could really simplify and add a nice layer of validation to the current sfincs.inp functionality. You can use this to set default values, parse input to the right format (e.g. bool instead of 1), add descriptions to the settings for online documentation, etc.
