Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

There is duplicated code in:

flepiMoP/flepimop/gempyor_pkg/src/gempyor/initial_conditions.py

Lines 19 to 29 in f680be3

	def InitialConditionsFactory(config: confuse.ConfigView, path_prefix: str = "."):
	if config is not None and "method" in config.keys():
	if config["method"].as_str() == "plugin":
	klass = utils.search_and_import_plugins_class(
	plugin_file_path=config["plugin_file_path"].as_str(),
	class_name="InitialConditions",
	config=config,
	path_prefix=path_prefix,
	)
	return klass
	return InitialConditions(config, path_prefix=path_prefix)

and:

flepiMoP/flepimop/gempyor_pkg/src/gempyor/seeding.py

Lines 173 to 183 in f680be3

	def SeedingFactory(config: confuse.ConfigView, path_prefix: str = "."):
	if config is not None and "method" in config.keys():
	if config["method"].as_str() == "plugin":
	klass = utils.search_and_import_plugins_class(
	plugin_file_path=config["plugin_file_path"].as_str(),
	class_name="Seeding",
	config=config,
	path_prefix=path_prefix,
	)
	return klass
	return Seeding(config, path_prefix=path_prefix)

These should be consolidated down into one place.

Is your feature request related to a new application, scenario round, pathogen? Please describe.

No response

Describe the solution you'd like

Ideally the parent class for Seeding and InitialConditions would be able to handle this, something like SimulationPluginComponent or similar.
