Adding a mode of operations in which all time slices are combined

[igv4321]

Introducing Phase 1 HF reco mode in which all time slices are combined. This is equivalent to what we did in Run 2 for cosmic runs. The timing information will be ignored.

This change is not supposed to modify any previous relvals.

For #16097 fecc4a3

Adding optional new 2017 HF reco mode where all times slices are combined. By default, this new mode is disabled. There should be no change in monitored quantities.

The code changes are satisfactory, and Jenkins tests against baseline CMSSW_8_1_X_2016-10-04-2300 show no significant differences, as expected.

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
