pandapipes to Excel (xlsx)

[jkisse]

Sometimes it would be handy to have an export option from pandapipes to Excel.
A brief test showed that pandapower's to_excel works to a large exentend also for pandpipes networks:

import os
from pandapipes import networks as nw
from pandapower.file_io import to_excel

net = nw.schutterwald()
path = os.path.join(os.getcwd(), "Schutterwald.xlsx")
to_excel(net, path)

However, some pandapipes-particularities can not be processed:

hp.pandapower.io_utils - WARNING: Could not serialize net.fluid
hp.pandapower.io_utils - WARNING: Could not serialize net.component_list
hp.pandapower.io_utils - WARNING: Could not serialize net.std_type

This is because they are not pandas dataframes.
