New feature in GEM simulation: GEMPadDigiCluster

[dildick]

A GEMPadDigiCluster is a set of adjacent GEMPadDigis in a single GEM chamber. Currently we send all trigger pads from the GEM chamber to the CSC chamber. In the hardware each GEM chamber optohybrid will send at most 8 clusters of at most 8 adjacent trigger pads to the nearby CSC optical trigger mother board. The effects are expected to be very small (<1%) on the local GEM-CSC trigger performance.

Still needs to be done: use GEMPadDigiClusters instead of GEMPadDigis in CSC trigger emulator.

A new Pull Request was created by @dildick (Sven Dildick) for CMSSW_8_1_X.

It involves the following packages:

DataFormats/GEMDigi
SimMuon/Configuration
SimMuon/GEMDigitizer

@cmsbuild, @civanch, @mdhildreth, @davidlange6 can you please review it and eventually sign? Thanks.
@abbiendi, @trocino, @HuguesBrun, @jhgoh, @battibass this is something you requested to watch as well.
@slava77, @Degano, @smuzaffar you are the release manager for this.

cms-bot commands are list here #13028

Comparison looks good. There should not be (and there aren't) any changes with respect to the baseline.

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
