CA-based ParticleGun configuration

Merged John Derek Chapman requested to merge jchapman/athena:ParticleGunCA_master into master

Most of the new configuration is in Generators/ParticleGun/python/ParticleGunConfig.py HITS file output matches legacy configuration, but the OutputLevel does not seem to get properly in the CA-based version currently, so the log includes DEBUG as well as INFO messages from ParticleGun.
The approach used for ParticleGun configuration in Simulation/SimuJobTransforms/python/CommonSimulationSteering.py could be expanded to configured the CosmicGenerator also.

Added two new flags:

  • flags.Random.SeedOffset: this will also be used to replace flags.Digitization.RandomSeedOffset in a future MR.
  • flags.Sim.GenerationConfiguration: placeholder for "on-the-fly" generation configuration until there has been a discussion of CA-based Evgen configuration.
