Integrate PrKalmanFilter to Alignment

The new track fitter PrKalmanFilter has entered the hlt2_fastest configuration of reconstruction. For consistency, the fitter must work in Alignment as well, which follows Rec#179. The functionality required in alignment is already available. At first place, TrackResidualHelper needs a new version that is compatible with PrKalmanFilter. To evaluate the results, the monitors such as TrackFitMatchMonitor should work with new track fit structures as well Rec!2569 (merged).

To do for Alignment:

  • adapt VertexResidualTool
  • inclusion in alignment sequence
  • study alignment performance using PrKalman
    • investigate Velo backward tracks problem, see #27
  • template the whole AlignAlgorithm, not just some of its methods

It should be checked if the following monitoring tools are needed and should be adapted:
