set_timeseries accepting a float in timeseries parameter

Right now, set_timeseries() accepts as the timeseries:

1. an array of length self.times()
2. a timeseries object

Perhaps it would be nice to also be able to accept a single value, e.g. a float? It could treat it the same as if it were an array with all the same value.

For optimization, set_timeseries only accepts a Timeseries. The constructor of Timeseries allows one to broadcast a float.

For simulation, set_timeseries only accepts a numpy array. Hypothetically we could allow a broadcast here. The simulation API is a mess though, so I would hold off until #1126 is fixed.
