remove tau duplicates in DAODs

Antonio De Maria requested to merge ademaria/athena:remove_dupli_tau into main

This MR is meant to remove rare "duplicated taus" at xAOD -> DxAOD stage.

The "duplication" is caused by the not unique track-tau association for both wide and core tau tracks between different taus (at the moment only duplication of core tracks is explicitly forbidden in tau reconstruction). This not-unique track associated might results in two taus having the same prongness and the same charged tracks, which means identical eta-phi direction.

Previous studies for tau-track association were performed by @martindl in https://indico.cern.ch/event/1051117/contributions/4420815/attachments/2269038/3855244/TauCP_Martin_22Jun21_v2.pdf
