ATLASRECTS-4850: Add support for RNN

Dan Guest requested to merge dguest/athena:add-dl2-tool into 21.2

This allows us to support the b-tagging RNN in reconstruction.

There are a number of changes required to make this work:

  • We're using DL2 from FlavorTagDiscriminants as the wrapper for lwtnn. This gives us more flexibility with the NN and makes changes easier to validate.
  • The track impact parameters are added in the xAOD fix rather than computed on the fly in the b-tagging code. Given that FlavorTagDiscriminants is meant to run in AnalysisBase we can't run the track extrapolation there.
  • The RNN (and eventually DL1) algorithms are scheduled as part of the JetBTaggerTool (which is scheduled once for each jet collection) rather than within the BTagTool (which is shared between all the jet collections). This is to avoid having to deal with multiple trainings within the same BTagTool.

This is the first in a series of merge requests. It does nothing at the moment, because I've turned off all the additional taggers, but future merge requests will add these. I ran the acmd diff-root and didn't see any differences in the output.
