Filter by level does not work with multiple conditions

[Rlamboll]

As far as I can work out,
"df.filter(level=[1, 2])"
always produces nothing, even when
"df.filter(level=1)" and "df.filter(level=2)"
produce reasonable values. I have been using workarounds so far, but at some point we should probably fix this!

The level argument is passed to

pyam/pyam/utils.py

Line 417 in 83b7542

def find_depth(data, s="", level=None):

And the docstring of the function clearly states that it can be an int or a str (like 1+).

Fine for me to either extend the function or raise an explicit error.

Also, we should add level to the list of illegal column names in an IamDataFrame. Using an extra-column named level would cause unexpected behavior for the filter method.
