[hroskes]

also an interface for passing commands to the track hit filter in the validation configuration.

This pull request is fully signed and it will be integrated in one of the next CMSSW_9_2_X IBs (tests are also fine) and once validation in the development release cycle CMSSW_9_3_X is complete. This pull request requires discussion in the ORP meeting before it's merged. @davidlange6, @smuzaffar
