Added a script to convert LHE files produced by Superchic to a Tauola-compatible format

Kartik Deepak Bhide requested to merge (removed):lhe-converters into main

The new script is based on LheConverter.py in the same directory (Generators/Superchic_ipython/LheConverter.py). The only change with respect to LheConverter.py is to change the PID of the incoming photons from 22 to +/- 11 i.e. electrons. The photon with pz > 0 is assigned PID = 11. The photon with pz < 0 is assigned PID = -11. This trick ensures that Tauola can read LHE files produced by Superchic and do tau decays.
