Inconsistent Muon Conditions between DetDesc and DD4Hep for processing of MC samples

During validation of simulation conditions in issue16, inconsistencies have been found in Muon condition configurations between MC production branches sim10/run3-ideal, SIMCOND upgrade/master and lhcb-conditions-database master.

The details are list below:

sim10/run3-ideal lhcb-condition-database/master Note
Conditions/Muon/ReadoutConf/Cabling/M2.yml Conditions/Muon/ReadoutConf/Cabling/M2.yml/0 The values of TSGridXList and TSGridYList are found to differ between these two branches for M2 only.
sim10/run3-ideal SIMCOND/upgrade/master Note
Conditions/Muon/ParticleID/* The ParticleID are missing in sim10/run3-ideal branch. How are they used in Reco? These files seem very old—perhaps they need to be cleaned up?
Conditions/Muon/ReadoutConf/ChamberGrid.yml Conditions/Muon/ReadoutConf/ChamberGrid.yml There are M1R1, M1R2, M1R3 ChambersGrids in SIMCOND through M1 is removed in run3.
Conditions/Muon/ReadoutConf/M1*.xml There are some conditions related to M1 in SIMCOND/upgrade/master.
Conditions/Muon/ReadoutConf/M*R*masks.xml or M*R*Cablings.xml These files appear only in SIMCOND/upgrade/master and seem to correspond to Run 1 & 2 conditions.
