This merge request builds on !61433 (merged) and !61435 (merged) to make the configuration of simulation outside ISF behave in the same way in legacy and CA-based configuration. It is necessary to update this as some workflows, such as forward detector simulation are not supported inside ISF.
A new ART test is added to test this updated configuration syntax. The other jobs in SimCoreTests will be updated in a follow-up MR.
