make HLT use "schedule" [12.1.X]

[missirol]

backport of #35858 #36019

TSG would like to backport #35858 to 12_1_X in view of an upcoming update of ConfDB.

(#36019 needs to be backported with it as well, to maintain a unit test functional.)

The goal is to ease the work of HLT developers, making 12_1_X behave the same as 12_2_X in terms of the name of the cms.Schedule provided by HLT configs.

More information can be found in #35842 and #36237.

This PR is merely technical, and no changes are expected.

PR description:

Copied from the description of #35858:

The first step towards the resolution of #35842 could be the renaming of HLTSchedule to schedule, using one of the standard HLT customisation functions. This PR is an attempt at that.

The final solution will have to come eventually with a change in ConfDB.

Standalone configs in test/ that use/assume HLTSchedule have been ignored for the moment (except for one that I know is used used to run in unit tests).

Merely technical; no changes expected.

PR validation:

addOnTests and unit tests.

If this PR is a backport, please specify the original PR and why you need to backport that PR:

#35858 #36019

Goal: user support for HLT development in 12_1_X.
