replace most LinkDef.h files with XML selection files

[wmtan]

There are now 21 remaining LinkDef.h files used to generate ROOT dictionaries. It has been decided to replace these files with XML selection files. This PR replaces 16 of the 21 files, which are those that are straightforward to replace. The five LinkDef files not touched by this PR are those that will require more effort due to technical complications.
These five LinkDef files are not touched in this PR:
CalibCalorimetry/EcalLaserAnalyzer/plugins/LinkDef.h
CalibCalorimetry/EcalLaserAnalyzer/test/MusEcal/src/LinkDef.h
Calibration/HcalCalibAlgos/src/CalibrationHcalCalibAlgosLinkDef.h
IORawData/HcalTBInputService/src/CDFROOTLinkDef.h
PhysicsTools/TagAndProbe/src/PhysicsToolsTagAndProbeLinkDef.h

@cmsbuild, please test
(assuming tests show no regression, we will merge as it seems there are no further comments after Bills request)

hum - did we pick up a recent non-reproducibility in genparticles? There are differences in the packed gen candidates

@davidlange6 I believe I had recently changed PackedGenParticles to be thread safe. Maybe something went wrong with reading?

[davidlange6]

yes - looks like it, as the comparisons in the original PR are also not good - though I don’t see the bug..

I have unit tests for the classes in the original pull request. Unfortunately, I'm at the airport and will be boarding not to long.

[davidlange6]

@Dr15Jones - Monday is soon enough. Thanks

but meanwhile I will merge this PR - as the issue I raised looks to be unrelated.

[Dr15Jones]

@wmtan Bill, I'm in a workshop for the next two days. Could you look into the problems reports by David with PackedGenCandidate?

[wmtan]

@Dr15Jones Will do Monday. Where is the workshop?
