Changes to run with CMSSW

This is a new version of !70 (closed) which has a re-written history.

From previous MR by DR:

""

This MR includes all changes made during last week's Hackathon:

• Remove SCDAQ functionality that creates special directories for hltd/CMSSW
• Fix a few bugs to allow processing with CMSSW

It requires some cleanup (notably I'll rewrite the history to make things clearer) and may get some more edits.

changed the description

mentioned in merge request !70 (closed)

Before looking at this in depth:

• Did you confirm that this here has all the changes (and not more than) the one in !70 (closed) had?
• Was this branch tested?
• I've put several TODOs in the code. Are you going to do them or should I?
• There's commented code in multiple places, are you going to clean that up or should I?

• Did you confirm that this here has all the changes (and not more than) the one in !70 (closed) had?
  • Yes I just went through and confirmed
• Was this branch tested?
  • Not since the rebase - I can do that now, but maybe smarter to wait for the TODOs to be done to avoid testing twice
• I've put several TODOs in the code. Are you going to do them or should I?
  • Depends if you have time to do them - if not I can go ahead, let me know (also if you have specific implementations in mind)
• There's commented code in multiple places, are you going to clean that up or should I?
  • I can do that easily now (DONE)

Hi @dinyar I believe I have addressed all your todos either by doing them or by seeking clarification. I would really like to not drag this out into the new year.

Hi @meschi was your intention to go ahead and merge this or to wait for @dinyar to respond? Thanks.

Hi @tjames . I believe by my approving the merge request I was implicitly giving the go-ahead to merge
