SciFiTrackForwarding, Introduce wrong sign window, update LDA parameters

Christoph Hasse requested to merge SciFiTrackForwarding_LDA_Update into master

This merge request introduces three relatively small changes.

  • updates the parameters of the linear discriminant analysis used to reject ghosts.
    This tuning is marginally more performant, but its biggest advantage over the old one is that it is reproducible ;)
  • introduce a wrong sign window search including a property which specifies the minimum transverse momentum at which this should be activated.
  • The linear search is added in a variant that always uses abs.
    As stated in the code, the offsets for the search in the 2nd station are not always correct.
    Ghost Tracks and significantly bent or scatted tracks can violate the fact that the nex following track will only search for hits "further along" the hit array.
    In these cases, we need the abs to pick the correct hit and quicker reject these scenarios.

@cattanem feel free to test whenever there is a spot :) I do expect some slight changes in the logs, while throughput should stay roughly the same. (Tested on a quanta)
