- introduce 'gaudisplititer' which works like the old 'gaudipariter',
  but does not split data over different processes
- add new option to split processing over multiple threads using hive.
  this is not functional yet.

Update refs for !168 using lhcb-master-mr/2188

Update reference files from nightly slot lhcb-master-mr, build ID 2188. To be tested with !168

next step in supporting DD4hep in Alignment

See merge request !168

It had been broken for some time, when adapting the reset to DD4hep.
Sadly it seems that we need to do it at different stages for the 2
cases...

In particular around the transition between two runs of alignment where
some hidden caches have to be reset

It was not necessary and leads to clang warnings when used with DD4hep
as it deletes a constructor that DD4hep requires (for bad reasons !)

Update references to Alignment for Rec!2339

Up to here the infrastrcuture was in place but we were not computing the
alignment neither storing it back. It's now the case

In particular :
  - moved the XmlWriters handling into C++ using a Property
  - integrated the WriteAlignmentCondition code into GetElementsToBeAligned
  - made GetElementsToBeAligned a member of AlignAlgorithm and do not
    use derived condition anymore. GetElementsToBeAligned is initialized
    from the first event
  - fixed python code of the test validators in case expected lines are
    not found in the output file
  - log all iterations one after the other in the log of AlignUpdateTool

This avoids using variant, makes the code much simpler and does not
change functionnality as the rest of the code could not cope with a mix
DDDB/DD4hep anyway
