Implemented new loopers external generator based on the previous one (still available): the number of loopers is now adapted to the time interval between one event and the other with a reference set through a parameter in the external gen. The reference loopers number is assigned to the calculated average time interval and a ratio is performed to adjust the loopers event by event. The loopers time is set via a Uniform distribution via a new generateEvent function.
The output from the generator can be found /alice/cern.ch/user/m/mgiacalo/selfjobs/LoopersFlatGasNewExtMean500-20250808-124127. The TPC clusters of this output were processed and they are available here /alice/cern.ch/user/m/mgiacalo/selfjobs/ProcessLoopersNewGenMean500-20250808-141601.
A flat average of ~10% of loopers clusters is achieved with the default configuration provided by this PR, as shown in the following time plot (in TPC cluster time units).

Merging. Test fails because of missing collisioncontext file. This generator is not supposed to work without it and it will be moved to AliceO2 in the future.
