McM/production bound options to cmsDriver

[vlimant]

PR description:

I have included two (this far) new backward compatible features in the PR:

• one to set the number of files to be added in the output configuration Limit the number of file names in python configuration from cmsDriver #47421 --filein "dbs:/DYto2Mu-2Jets_Bin-0J-MLL-50_TuneCP5_13p6TeV_amcatnloFXFX-pythia8/RunIII2024Summer24DRPremix-140X_mcRun3_2024_realistic_v26-v2/AODSIM site=T1_DE_KIT_Disk:2" for example
• one to be able to specify --eventcontent MINIAODSIM1 and have the output module named MINIAODSIM1output, but with the regular eventcontent (towards being able to run a stepchain with multiple output of the same event content)

PR validation:

If this PR is a backport please specify the original PR and why you need to backport that PR. If this PR will be backported please specify to which release cycle the backport is meant for:

a backport to 15.0 of the --eventcontent will likely be made
