Issue:
Rename `set_events`
As discussed in the PR #4254, `set_event` should be renamed because of misleading.

              This adds a side effect to what would be expected to be a simple setter. At minimum it should be changed to `append_events()` or `add_events()`. Was there an actual bug that this was fixing or just not sure if it would cause issues?

Pull request:
Renames `set_events` to `add_events_from`
# Description

I have renamed `set_events` to `add_events_from`  in all occurrences

Fixes #4266 

## Type of change

Please add a line in the relevant section of [CHANGELOG.md](https://github.com/pybamm-team/PyBaMM/blob/develop/CHANGELOG.md) to document the change (include PR #) - note reverse order of PR #s. If necessary, also add to the list of breaking changes.

- [ ] New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
- [ ] Optimization (back-end change that speeds up the code)
- [ ] Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)

# Key checklist:

- [x] No style issues: `$ pre-commit run` (or `$ nox -s pre-commit`) (see [CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/pybamm-team/PyBaMM/blob/develop/CONTRIBUTING.md#installing-and-using-pre-commit) for how to set this up to run automatically when committing locally, in just two lines of code)
- [x] All relevant tests pass, except latxeify which are unrelated.
- [x] The documentation builds: `$ python run-tests.py --doctest` (or `$ nox -s doctests`)

 ## Optimizations
 - Removed the `start_step_offset` setting and disabled minimum `dt` warnings for drive cycles with the (`IDAKLUSolver`). ([#4416](https://github.com/pybamm-team/PyBaMM/pull/4416))
 
+## Breaking changes
+- Renamed `set_events` function to `add_events_from` to better reflect its purpose. ([#4421](https://github.com/pybamm-team/PyBaMM/pull/4421))
