remove pyminuit and its dependencies

[davidlange6]

to quote the pyminuit repo "Update in 2015: Guys, PyMinuit is ancient." It won't support python3, we already have professor2 rather than professor. None of these appear to be used in cmssw.

please test

@mkirsano,@SiewYan,@alberto-sanchez,@agrohsje,@GurpreetSinghChahal any objections on dropping professor from the cmssw distribution? As @davidlange6 mentioned, we already have professor2 so do we need to keep professor ?

[agrohsje]

Agreed but double-checking with the tuning people. Already pinged them.

[sensrcn]

We (GEN-17-002) use professor only in CMSSW_9_x and 10_x releases. We don't need professor in CMSSW_12_x.

[mseidel42]

Professor 1.4 had an experimental feature for taking into account covariance matrices.
But to be honest, it was rarely used, and this can also be hacked into Professor 2.

We should probably get the successor tool, apprentice, into CMSSW and make sure that it has all the features that we need.

Thanks for the feedback @cms-sw/generators-l2 . So we will go ahead and drop professor for 12.0.X
For apprentice , it is available Pypi so we should be able to include it when needed. Please open an issue in cms-sw/cmssw repo when you need this.

This pull request is fully signed and it will be integrated in one of the next IB/CMSSW_12_0_X/master IBs (tests are also fine). This pull request will now be reviewed by the release team before it's merged. @silviodonato, @dpiparo, @qliphy (and backports should be raised in the release meeting by the corresponding L2)
