Revert back change double to float for float TFCSLateralShapeParametrizationHitBase::get_sigma2_fluctuation(...)

In ATLMCPROD-7665 it was noted that merging of EVNT_TR files in AthenaMP jobs fails.
This is due to the fact that the EVNT_TR input/output file arguments are of type
`argPOOLFile` and so try to use the default approach for merging reconstruction outputs.
This merge request creates a new `argEVNT_TRFile` argument type where a specialized
merging configuration is used. This should fix ATLASJT-407.

 - Prefer preincrement to postincrement for iterators.
 - Pass strings by const reference, not by value.
 - Uninitialized class members.
 - Prefer initializing members in an initialization list.

fix a bug with negative lifetimes in MesonsList.py

c169eb6a fix a bug with negative lifetimes in MesonsList.py

Previously configuration-only unit tests of job transforms had
errors in their logs due to failed attempts to access the non-existant
output file. This change suppresses the problematic call in the case
that outputFileValidation is switched off. The change was made
in the individual transform files, so as not to alter the behaviour
for non-simulation transforms. It would be cleaner to tweak the
generateReport method of the `transform` module though.

After ATLASSIM-4225 it is clear that the stability of qball digitization output
needs to be monitored to confirm that the issues seen in 21.0 do not appear in
other branches.
