Create xAOD::TrackMeasurementValidation objects from Pixel and Strip Clusters

Pierfrancesco Butti requested to merge pibutti/athena:acts-prd-info into main

MR to add TrackMeasurementValidation collection with truth information if required by reconstruction jobOption when using only Acts-based reconstruction. I've decided to write a conversion from PixelClusters / StripClusters to TrackMeasurementValidations because downstream monitoring (IDPVM) and derivation tools assume those type of objects. In the future we could change this, but requires further discussion.

Currently:

  • two "copies" of the same algorithm for Pixel and Strip sensors are used. In the future we plan to improve this.
  • the two algorithms are only used to store truth particle indices and barcodes necessary for getting technical efficiencies plots filled in IDPVM. Information for proper derivations still missing.
