B2OC: Tune BdToD0hh_D0ToHH(HH) lines

FYI @mwhitehe @tlatham

We expect the changes to result in roughly the following rates and efficiencies

Line                     Rate (Hz)    Rate Reduction Factor    Efficiency (%)    Efficiency Reduction Factor
-------------------  -----------  -----------------------  ----------------  -----------------------------

Where the reduction factors are calculated as the fraction of events that pass both the line with our cuts applied and the line as it was when @abertoli and @shunan applied their "machete" cuts.

We've added a new B builder for b_to_cstarhh since D* lines previously used the b_to_dhh builder which now features a default D flight-distance cut which is useless for D* (when done just on the B child) so the D* builder defaults to an extremely loose minimum FD.

Note: Efficiency was calculated with BdToD0PiPi_D0ToKPi MC for the D0ToHH lines and BdToD0KPi_D0ToKPiPiPi MC for the D0ToHHHH lines.
