Adding AFP SiT and ToF hits containers to PHYS

Savannah Clawson requested to merge saclawso/athena:adding_afp_to_phys into main

Modifying PHYS.py to include AFP SiT and ToF hits containers, following the instructions here: https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/viewauth/AtlasProtected/ModificationsToDAODPHYS.

These containers are planned to be used mostly for AFP CP studies, see recent expression of interest at the ATLAS Roman Pots General Meeting here: https://indico.cern.ch/event/1479988/#237-proton-cp-group-plans.

The AFPSiHitContainer includes

depositedCharge,vector<float>,
timeOverThreshold,vector<float>
stationID,vector<int>
pixelLayerID,vector<int>
pixelRowIDChip,vector<int>
pixelColIDChip,vector<int>

The AFPToFHitContainer includes

time,vector<float>
hptdcChannel,vector<int>
barInTrainID,vector<int>
trainID,vector<int>
pulseLength,vector<float>
hptdcID,vector<int>

The file size increase for data is roughly 1.5%. There is no change for MC as AFP hits are not available in MC.

Tagging @gwatts for AMG and @fladias for DAOD coordination.
