[MCCS-2064] Apply calibration solution

Alistair Child requested to merge mccs-2064-apply-solution into main

The Goal of the MR is to be able to apply a calibration solution from the calibration_store to MCCS.

A stored solution is a .npy file with a np.ndarray of shape (nof_antenna * 8). That is 4 complex Jones values flattened. We want to be able to apply this during the configure command.

Note: The resolution of solutions at deployment is expected to be low (e.g we calibrated during a cold day, meaning when it is a hot day we have no acceptable solutions.), meaning we will likely not always have a solution. In this case we will apply a unit calibration for that channel (as we did before.)

Checking the validity of the applied calibration is outside of my knowledge. All i have checked is that in minikube MccsStation.Configure will contact the calibrationStore to get a solution and apply this to the Tiles.
