Generalize primary particle definition using scikit-hep/particle/

[GernotMaier]

Review after PR #989 has been reviewed and merged!!

Allow a more flexible and future-proved definition of the primary particle types.

Primary particles for simulations can be chosen now from:

• common names (as before): e.g., 'gamma', 'proton'
• corsika7 IDs: e.g., 14 for proton
• PDG IDs following the standard particle identification (ID) numbering scheme: e.g., 2212 for protons

CORSIKA 8 is using PDG IDs, meaning with this PR the switch will be easier.

The primary particle is defined with two command line flags:

• common name: "--primary proton"
• corsika7 IDs: "--primary 14 --primary_id_type corsika7_id"
• pdg IDs: "--primary 2212 --primary_id_type pdg_id"

Requires to add a new dependency: scikit-hep/particle. Note that the PDG group also allows a python API, but it this has been released only recently and is a notably large package. Also does not allow to convert CORSIKA7 IDs to PDG IDs.

Closes #448
