AnalysisTop: Allow \# and newline char in MC generator weight names in config

Oliver Majersky requested to merge omajersk/athena:AT-special-weight-characters into 21.2

Some very special weight names from MadGraph can contain whole configuration statements that include characters such as # and \n. This MR adds support for those in the AnalysisTop configuration when specifying nominal weight name.

In addition, because # is used as comment character in AT configuration files, this MR adds support for proper parsing of escaped hash \#

Fixes ANALYSISTO-936
