71X update for 2015 BS and default Run1 geometry

[diguida]

This branch has:

• a modified version of Configuration/PyReleaseValidation/python/relval_steps.py for using the gen-sim produced in CMSSW_7_1_14 and for using by default the BS for nominal collisions 2015 (originally in 71 x update for2015 bs nm #7904 with a fix);
• a modified version of Configuration/AlCa/python/autoCond.py for using the GTs for Run2 simulations in 25 and 50 ns with the new BS (originally in 71 x update for2015 bs nm #7904);
• a modified version of Configuration/AlCa/python/autoCond.py for using the GTs for Run1 simulations with more realistic tracker material budget SIM geometry;
• a modified version of Configuration/StandardSequences/python/VtxSmeared.py for using the VtxSmearedDefaultKey for NominalCollisions2015 (originally in 71 x update for2015 bs nm #7904).

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

[franzoni]

@cmsbuild please test

[franzoni]

can this PR please be merged ?
I tried to re-trigger the tests, which was unsuccessful.
This is essential to have 71x GEN-SIM in input to the 74 validation
(we'll need migration of the matrix to pythia8, too)
