Improvements required for the Buildings 7.0.0 library

[Francesco Casella]

This ticket collects all known issues that should be fixed to get 100% of the Buildings 7.0.0 library to run.

The graph plots the success rate of the various phases of compilation and simulation so far

Frontend

• #5988 NFTyping.typeComponents fails with no error message
