Usage of std_types in create_pipe

[jkisse]

Currently, the default create_pipe uses standard pipe types. The only value from the standard type library that is relevant to the pipeflow calculation is the diameter. (The main reason behind these standard types is the structure of pandapower - for power lines, many more parameters are read from the standard type library).
To set the diameter individually, the create_pipe_from_parameters function has to be called. I have the impression that this one is much more relevant than "create using std_types".

I'd like to discuss whether the default create_pipe function should rather be the one that is today create_pipe_from_parameters. It shouldn't be too complicated to pass everything to a create_pipe_from_std_types function, if a std_type=... is being passed, so it could be backward-compatible.

What do you think about the usage of standard types and the default create functions?

I think, that's a great idea!

I think, what we would also need is that the create_pipe_from_parameters function remains in place with a DeprecationWarning for some time then.
