JSON approach: improved log + new default settings

Slight improvements to the readability of log output from bash scripts and new default settings in config.json.

changed milestone to %OCT23

added Framework Simulation labels

@f.uhlig Hi Florian, I hope this MR can still be included in the OCT23 RC. Changes are only of cosmetics nature and I updated some of the default settings in config.json to make it work out of the box. One important change is not included, that is to update the cbmroot version in config.json. Would it be possible to put the release itself there, which would only work if I know the exact location of the installation before you install it?

Can you explain why the event rate was increased from 1 kHz to 10 MHz and if this update requires timebased simulations to be recomputed?

This config.json is just an example which is aimed to be usable out of the box for new users and hence default settings should be in a reasonable range, but the exact number you're using for productions is up to the user and particular case.

Concerning the PWG common, the old value of 1e3 is just to make productions comparable to event-by-event simulations as for the low event rate, events are well separated in time and one can compare performance between the different digitization modes.

So whether you need to recompute something or not depends on what you aim to study. The default parameters should be in a realistic range in comparison to the experimental data to be collected, but should not be taken blindly.
