Faster PrVeloUT

Michel De Cian requested to merge decianm-PrVeloUTImprovements into master

Improvements (mostly speed) to PrVeloUT

  • Get rid of the tool, do everything directly in PrVeloUT
  • Cache look-up table for tolerances locally, instead of accessing the tool for every track. Still need to do the same for the Bdl table.
  • Avoid using a std::vector in the clustering stage, as it just creates unnecessary overhead
  • Introduce a minimum momentum cut of 1500MeV. More detailed checks needed for possible efficiency loss
  • Speed up hit search by precalculating some quantities.
  • Don't split hits in top and bottom anymore, gain was not worth the savings in time.
  • Also contains a (prototype) version of the method that creates the output tracks, as most of the time is spent in the method that writes out the LHCb::Track in keyed containers. In principle only x,y,z,tx,ty,q/p and the LHCbIDs are needed from VeloUT
