Time slots and NOMIS

When trying to spin this system up I noticed that some time slots weren't updating after I updated the yaml files for certain prisons.

Turns out that some prisons ONLY rely on NOMIS time slots for bookings, so the NOMIS time slots take precedence over the yaml files.

There are 3 environment variables which dictate if this is enabled and what prisons will only use NOMIS for its time slots

• NOMIS_STAFF_SLOT_AVAILABILITY_ENABLED Link to NOMIS_STAFF_SLOT_AVAILABILITY_ENABLED
• PUBLIC_PRISONS_WITH_SLOT_AVAILABILITY Link to PUBLIC_PRISONS_WITH_SLOT_AVAILABILITY
• STAFF_PRISONS_WITH_SLOT_AVAILABILITY Link to STAFF_PRISONS_WITH_SLOT_AVAILABILITY

Any prisons listed in PUBLIC_PRISONS_WITH_SLOT_AVAILABILITY and STAFF_PRISONS_WITH_SLOT_AVAILABILITY will only use NOMIS time slots instead of the yaml files.
