Update Herwig JZ1 JO

Haifeng Li requested to merge haifeng_herwigJZ1 into master

Description of bug

ATLMCPROD-9936

Following up on my presentation at the PMG Jet/Photon meeting; https://indico.cern.ch/event/1156620/ I would like to request that the we recreate the Herwig7.2.1 and Herwig7.1.6 JZ1 samples with no weighting of the pT spectrum. I tested generating 50k JZ1,2 and 20k JZ3-9 events with the usual pT^4 weighting, pT^2 weighting, and no weighting. I then compared the stat error as a function of pT. It can be clearly seen in the plot that no weighting performs the best for JZ1 by a long way - lowest stat. uncertainty for the same number of generated events. For JZ2+ it could be argued that pT^2 is the best for future productions but the statistics for these slices are fine so I don't think they need to be re-made. I have attached the updated JobOptions for; 830072/mc.H7EG_jetjet_Lund_JZ1.py 830081/mc.H7EG_jetjet_Cluster_JZ1.py 830090/mc.H7EG_jetjet_Cluster_dipole_JZ1.py 830099/mc.H7EG_jetjet_72_Cluster_JZ1.py I suggest as this is effectively a bug fix with no change to the physics we use the same DSIDs.

Changes introduced

JZ1 samples with no weighting of the pT spectrum.
