TAE activity filter

First implementation of a TAE activity filter based on long tracks.

An alternative filter based on VELO tracks is implemented in case it is needed for the start of data-taking - it can be enabled by switching the `use_long_tracks` to False (an example sequence is provided in this MR).

To be tested with MooreOnline!329 (merged)

The decision (by OutputHandler) which TAE events to output is assuming that all super-TAE events get selected. Some additional changes will be needed to make that work properly with an additional filter.

• HostTAEFilter is using the input event list for all events, it should only use it to check that central events are in the event list.
• OutputHandler assumes all super-TAE events are selected when filtering them out of the regular events here. Maybe <= instead of == is enough to fix that.
• OutputHandler doesn't take selected_events into account when writing super-TAE events to the output, so the tae_events should be filtered based on (unfiltered) selected_events here.

A tangentially related question: what happens when there is overlap between TAE and physics triggers? For example:

ee ee ee ee bb bb bb bb bb
   ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^------ TAE passing the activity filter
            ^^--------------- "normal" line 

ee ee ee ee bb bb bb bb bb
   ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^------ TAE passing the activity filter
                  ^^--------- "normal" line
