feat: new ddsim features ported to npsim

• InputConfig for boost/smear input plugins
• OutputConfig for output plugins
• Allow multiple compact files
• Updated treatment of fixed energy
• PhysicsList user functions
• SD Action map from detectors
• edm4hep.root extension
• actually set ZeroTimePDGs
