revise GEN release validation samples

[covarell]

Proposal to revise GEN validation samples:

• Added more used LHE-based workflows (also testing aMCatNLO and Powheg) and others, spanning a wider range of MC generators used in CMS
• removed old/redundant workflows, fixed duplicated workflow numbers
• reordered samples in the way they should be
  (generator = RelVal to be run for every release validation cycle
  extendedgen = RelVal to be run only for major changes and on demand)

Proposal to be discussed @bendavid @franzoni @mkiani
