xAOD::TAuxStore Speedup, master branch (2022.08.29.)

Attila Krasznahorkay requested to merge akraszna/athena:TAuxStoreSpeedup-master-20220829 into master

Following in the footsteps of !56272 (merged), this MR improves the performance of xAOD::TAuxStore.

This time around I started from a SUSY test job (pointed to be @zmarshal).

Which looks like this in the current master branch:

With the updates of this MR this profile is modified to:

String comparisons are still the dominant thing in the job, but they became a lot less prevalent nevertheless. And (drum roll...) the above test job on my machine went from taking ~12 minutes to only taking ~4! With the cutflow printout from the job not changing. 😄

I still have some ideas on how to further improve things, but let's just go one step at a time. 😉
