Thank you, Tabea, for this very nice and helpful PR!
I only have some minor documentation comments.

I see these variations offer the complete set of possibilities :) Im just a bit afraid that they lack plausibility... In general, its probably good to have this flexibility but we should give some guidance on whats useful.
In my view there are these central perspectives:
- policy perspective (what do national policymakers regulate/ target in policy targets (NDC, LTS)
emi|ghg|w/o bunkers|lulucf national accounting
(exclusion of LULUCF for poor data quality)
- modeling perspective starts from the CO2 budeget scenarios, here the allocation should be consistent with the peak/EOC budget calculation
Maybe we should add these two standard cases to the description?

Thanks for the comment below, I now understood this point better as well and added information

Maybe here it would be nice to use the naming of the output variables, clarifying explicitly LULUCF national accounting!

From your wording, I am now very confused about the LULUCF data, so I will wait for you to specify what exactly you want to have mentioned here. To my knowledge, the normal REMIND CO2 budget calculation is not using national accounting but the MAgPIE data.

Please pardon any confusion! The way you have it is only LULUCF modeling, that's correct. For policy implications, we could think about the national accounting and add the variant with the Grassi shift as done in the net-zero calculation here: pm_emiLULUCF_GrassiShift("2020",regi)

But for now it's good; from my side, you can merge this PR ;)


Purpose of this PR
This PR allows to specify which emission components are included in the regional EoC emission budgets, motivated by JustMIP requirements:
The default is set to the normal REMIND CO2 budget calculation.
Note:
cm_multigasscen. I.e. they are typically taxed even if not included in the emission budget the carbon tax is scaled to meet.In addition, we add a description of the relevant switches to be set for regional EoC budget runs in the realization.
