This is a new one PR for 71x

[covarell]

Fine for us, but we remind that pythia6 (on which the generator is based) is no longer supported by the authors and support will decrease progressively in CMS too. What are the plans for migrating to pythia8 in the future?

[wouf]

@covarell : for HI, Pythia support is not very important, while it's in CMSSW. At this moment there are not such plans.

This pull request is fully signed and it will be integrated in one of the next CMSSW_7_1_X IBs unless changes (tests are also fine). This pull request requires discussion in the ORP meeting before it's merged. @davidlange6, @Degano, @ktf, @smuzaffar
