Several improvements for the conddb tools

[ggovi]

These changes aim to add functionalities to the conddb v2 c++ command line tools, namely:

• Move the de-serialization+re-serialization to a specific option in the import command. The default will transfer the blob without to read it.
• Implement an 'overriding' option for the import, allowing to ovverride the existing iovs of the concerned sequence interval, to make only the imported iovs active.
• Implement a 'forceInsert' option for the import, to allow the change of tags with synchronization else then any or validation ( will be possible only by the conddb admins anyhow )
• allow to provide the 'editingNote' which will be stored in the TagLog entry for the concerned change.
• provide a conddb_edit_tag command for general management of the Tag header, allowing to change the synchronization. It also allow to create new Tags without iovs.

This pull request is fully signed and it will be integrated in one of the next CMSSW_8_1_X IBs (tests are also fine). This pull request requires discussion in the ORP meeting before it's merged. @slava77, @davidlange6, @Degano, @smuzaffar

@ggovi I think it is worth backporting this Pull Request to 80x, since operations are in that release cycle.
