update sanitize carriers function

plot_power_network: import rename_techs from helpers

Closes #1396

Changes proposed in this Pull Request

In the current master, I have many techs that do not have a color defined. This is because we have techs like rural solar thermal, rural water tanks, and urban decentral heat that do not have a color defined in the default.config.yaml. With this PR, we take the rename_techs function and use it to find the colors of those technologies without having to define them specifically in the config.

@p-glaum Looks good! Just suggested to add type hints and a docstring to the function you've touched.
Could you provide a config.yaml for a minimal working example? I've ran this locally but the results graphs seem the same.

@amos-schledorn Thanks for reviewing! The results should not change. The only think what changed are the color entries in n.carriers.color which shouldn't be empty anymore for carriers like rural solar thermal

@p-glaum Gotcha. Checked the .nc outputs and there are no carriers without colours remaining. I can't make sense of the failing CI. If you know it's nothing critical, merge at will.
