anchorMC: Take away need to specify NSIGEVENTS

It should be enough, and less confusing, to just specify the number
of timeframes to be simulated (as well as potentially the timeframe length in orbits).

So we now do the setting for NSIGEVENTS internally (the o2dpg_sim_workflow script
still needs it) but keep the option to provide it for expert studies.

Also taking away the need to provide CYCLE (which is mostly 0 in any case).
