Allow Append Routes to process routes where Network Order is in increments greater than 100

Per the tool instruction:

  • The tool checks that the line order values are greater than zero and in increments of 100 with flow and direction of routes in a line. Incorrect line order values will cause the tool to fail. The output text file reports the incorrect line order values as errors. The tool will run successfully once these errors are fixed. Append Routes (Location Referencing)—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation

Transmission pipelines historically create series in increments of 1000, not 100.

I think the tool should check that the series (network orders) are incremental and ascending and load the routes if that logic is followed.

Keeping the increments at 100 means that during a data migration to an APR-based data model, the existing data series must be modified to smaller series.  It also means there are less increments to create new series in the future, (transmission pipelines may have many reroutes during their lifespan).  A Network Order of 100 becomes 100, 200, then 100, 150, 200, then 100, 125, 150, 200 etc.
