[Alert_collaboration] [EXTERNAL] ALERT yaml flags

[efuchey]

Hello Mohammed, and all,

besides the flag for track finding suggested by Mathieu, I can think of:
* a "Simulation" boolean flag, to readout simulation files. It should be 
set to 'false' by default.
* a "FindingMethod" string flag to indicate what fitting method should 
be used for the conventional track finder. It should be set to 
'distance' by default.
Those are currently declared in AHDCEngine.

Best regards,
Eric
