Remove sTGC hits with negative calibrated charge

Chav Chhiv Chau requested to merge chchau/athena:removeNegCharge into 22.0

sTGC calibrated charge in data may become negative due to the lack of proper calibration constants. The negative charges are removed to prevent errors downstream. They represent a small fraction of hits that have low deposited energy, so discarding them would have a negligible impact. With proper calibration, all charge values should be positive.

This merge request targets ATLASRECTS-714, restoring some changes by @sangelid to protect against corrupted data !55062 (closed). Tagging also @pscholer, @jojungge, @rosati
