    Much of our code relies on DerivationFrameworkIsMonteCarlo , which is
    actually not what it means to use. This flag was set based on the
    "input" being "geant4". For overlay, the input is set to data. What most
    of these pieces of code actually want to know is whether there is truth
    information in the input file. Therefore, splitting off a clear
    "HasTruth" flag, including a separate "HasxAODTruth" flag. Migrating all
    clients I could identify.
    
    This also brought to light a few places where we use MC / truth
    information as a proxy for something else (e.g. an unprescaled or
    different trigger menu). It'd be better if those pieces of code could be
    migrated to check what they actually intend to look for, but that's
    beyond the scope of this MR. Here I tried to add some comments to point
    those places out.
    
    This should be a first step towards solving ATLASG-1532.
