Double candidate SciFi

  • Change default number of candidates in SciFi to 16.
  • Use 32 threads in a block to process the 16 hits in the middle module. This produces a maximum of two candidates per middle hit, increasing both speed (with respect to vanilla 16 candidates) and slightly efficiency.

The performance improves significantly with this MR by about 16%.

The original MR was https://gitlab.cern.ch/lhcb-parallelization/Allen/merge_requests/198 but I messed it up with other changes.
