[NGT] Promote SimDoublets to full SimPixelTracks for better Patatrack pixel tracking performance analysis

[JanGerritSchulz]

PR description:

This PR upgrades the existing class of SimDoublets to a more extensive class of SimPixelTracks. This allows for a more detailed analysis of the Patatrack pixel tracking performance by providing additional simulation truth for more intermediate objects in Patatrack. This includes triplets and N-tuplets and their respective cuts applied when built in reconstruction.

This PR is currently a draft and not ready for review. More detailed information will follow...
