Some commercial simulators reject a DATES keyword whose value equals the
simulation start date. The earliest event date is, by construction, that start
date, so generate_schedule_text now emits it as a comment line (e.g.
"-- Date: 1 JAN 2024") instead of a DATES keyword by default.
The new first_date_as_comment parameter (default True) threads from the Python
wrapper through the GenerateSchedule scriptable method into
RicScheduleDataGenerator. Only the first/earliest date is affected; later dates
are always emitted as DATES keywords. Pass first_date_as_comment=False to
restore the previous behavior.
