I found follow errors while testing this PR

Failed tests: RelVals

• RelVals:

When I ran the RelVals I found an error in the following worklfows:

Since the error is not related to ThePEG / Herwig7 can you please restart the test?

The one failing matrix test is not due to Herwig7 or ThePEG. Instead it seems that Pythia8 or the GenSim step does not provide a necessary CMSSW product, see below

Since this error is not related to this PR. Can you please accept and merge the PRs? It would be nice to finally have Herwig7 in CMSSW and I do not see why an unrelated error should delay its implementation further.

If you want to fix the error, here I tracked down the error message:
`%MSG-w L3Absolute not found: PATJetUpdater:updatedPatJetsBTAG 02-Sep-2016 20:39:19 CEST Run: 1 Event: 1
L2L3Residual and L3Absolute are not part of the jetCorrFactors
of module patJetCorrFactorsBTAG. Jets will remain uncorrected.

@davidlange6 , we accidentally included herwig7 changes without this and now IBs are broken. @covarell, @perrozzi, @thuer , can you please sign this PR? OR should we revert the herwig external?

[davidlange6]

I'm just merge this pr. Please complain if not ok.
