Retune UV search windows to significantly reduce ghost rate

Vava Gligorov requested to merge gligorov-allen_tdr-patch-57739 into allen_tdr

All credit to @rquaglia for the idea to tighten the UV search windows. This reduces the ghost rate considerably while reducing efficiencies only a bit at low momentum; the efficiency for high momentum electrons actually improves.

@thboettc this will significantly reduce the 1Track output rate in particular, something to keep in mind for your alignment of selections.

@dcampora @dovombru please review & approve at your convenience

Output before and after on Bs2PhiPhi from local testing
