refactor: bind croplist in schedule

Added method to check if a date is within a GrowthPhaseType to plant, thus removing the need for the ugly getMinDate methods and moving knowledge of the phase-internals to the Plant class.

Also removed the need to specify the lifecycle-group to the sowDateFromHarvest method
