Configurable SiPM hardcode parameters

[kpedro88]

Changes in this PR (all in the HCAL hardcode conditions):

1. Add python parameter to enable/disable useHOUpgrade
2. Configurable SiPM per-channel parameters: photoelectronsToAnalog, darkCurrent
3. Configurable SiPM per-type parameters: pixels, crosstalk, nonlinearity params
4. Assign SiPM type based on number of layers in depth (taken from topology): cells with nLayers > 4 have larger SiPMs of diameter 3.3mm, the rest have SiPMs of diameter 2.8mm

I tested the operation of these changes using the following (slightly cumbersome) command, assuming the workflow numbering in pre12 (so 106xx is 2017HCALdev):

runTheMatrix.py -w upgrade -l 10622.0 --command='--customise SLHCUpgradeSimulations/Configuration/HCalCustoms.load_HcalHardcode --customise_commands "process.es_hardcode.useHFUpgrade = cms.bool(True)\nprocess.es_hardcode.useHEUpgrade = cms.bool(True)\nprocess.es_hardcode.toGet.remove(\"ElectronicsMap\")"'

It is also necessary to uncomment these two lines:
https://github.com/cms-sw/cmssw/blob/CMSSW_8_1_0_pre12/CalibCalorimetry/HcalPlugins/src/HcalDbProducer.cc#L64-L65
because the new DB objects are not yet activated in the official software. Correspondingly, no changes are expected in any central workflows.

@kpedro88 for the record:

It is also necessary to uncomment these two lines:
https://github.com/cms-sw/cmssw/blob/CMSSW_8_1_0_pre12/CalibCalorimetry/HcalPlugins/src/HcalDbProducer.cc#L64-L65

could be activated after #16048 is merged

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, @smuzaffar
