Updates to process old 2016 files

Kevin Pedro requested to merge github/fork/kpedro88/2016OldUpdates into Run2_2017_V16

Since the 2016 miniAODv3 campaign in 94X is not converging quickly, we need to be able to process the old 80X MC. A few physics objects need to be rerun to make the outputs correspond to what we have in 94X:

  • DeepCSV tagger for AK4 jets (don't bother with DeepFlavour for now)
  • Puppi + AK8 clustering + substructure for AK8 jets (80X uses PFCHS)
  • BadChargedCandidate, BadPFMuon MET filters (were already rerun in our config)

There are a few other differences to handle as well:

  • different era for electron post-reco tool
  • selectedPatTrigger rather than slimmedPatTrigger

A new modifier TM80X is introduced to handle these changes that are specific to the 80X MC. The python file lists, scenarios, and unit tests for the old MC are restored. The miniAODv3 GT will be used.

Rerunning the objects listed above reduces the event rate to 7 ev/s. The second-largest contribution (after jet clustering) is from the calculation of ECFs. These could be temporarily disabled (to be considered in a subsequent PR).
