In dctran.c, call EVTcall_hybrids() (which then calls a subset of

code model instances) only when the current timestep was successful.
That is efficient and means that code models may rely on such calls,
for example a co-simulator may safely advance to the end of the timestep.
The function cm_irreversible() that is mentioned in a comment will be
added in a later commit.
