CPAlgorithms: common bootstrapping algorithm

Baptiste Ravina requested to merge ravinab/athena:bootstrapalg into main

As discussed at the Statistics Forum, we are proposing a common algorithm for generating bootstraps. It is recommended that it be added to ntuple production in any analysis. Users can further change the number of replicas (to increase statistical precision) and also run the algorithm on MC samples as needed (only data is the absolute minimal requirement).

We are currently waiting for feedback from the ROOT team about the usage of TRandom3 and the uniqueness of the seeding algorithm --> update: TRandomRanluxpp has been suggested instead
