This PR mixes two types of variables - the technical parameters that are fairly straightforward, plus other variables which are problematic for a number of reasons, like shares, nominal consumption, statistical descriptions...
I suggest to remove all Share and Final Energy variables from this PR, review, merge, then start another PR to discuss these items.

No need to use lists here for the units - please fix in this entire file.

I'm confused why you sometimes use "Injection Rate|Natural Gas|Storage|Aquifer" but "Injection Rate|Gas|Storage|Salt Cavern" - shouldn't this be consistently used with "Natural Gas"?

Assuming that methane and hydrogen cannot use the same networks, I suggest to simplify to
- Network|Natural Gas|Capacity
- Network|Hydrogen|Capacity

This is obviously a subcategory of pipeline length.

These are boolean values that cannot be represented by the IIASA database infrastructure and the IAMC format. I suggest to remove these variables for now and have a discussion later how this information could be handled.
The newly defined gas grid variables.
