 * Draws a random sky direction from the intensity distribution of the model

 *
 * The method makes use of a cache array that contains the normalized
 * cumulative flux values of the skymap. Using a uniform random number, this
 * cache array is scanned using a bi-section method to determine the skymap
 * pixel for which the position should be returned.
 *
 * Within that pixel, a rejection method is used to draw a sky direction
 * that follows the intensity distribution that is obtained when calling the
 * interpolation operator. This assures that even for coarse binning of the
 * sky map the simulation corresponds to the model.
 *
 * Note that the set_mc_cone() method needs to be called before this method
 * is called the first time.
