TextConfig: add block to add blocks from YAML file

Joseph Earl Lambert requested to merge jolamber/athena:main-cpalgorithms-addblock-block into main

Inorder to allow for users to add blocks from the YAML file without editting the python code, a new block was added.

Example adding the CommonServices block:

AddConfigBlocks:                                                                                   
  - modulePath: 'AsgAnalysisAlgorithms.AsgAnalysisConfig'
    functionName: 'makeCommonServicesConfig'
    algName: 'CommonServices'
    pos: 'PileupReweighting'

The code calls import functionName from modulePath. The function or class that will be called corresponds to functionName and will be run before the block at pos. The block can be referenced in the yaml file using algName.
