Add 9_4_9_cand1 content on top of 9_4_X as a patch

[fabiocos]

The content of this PR is equivalent to #23474 , but instead of doing a simple "git checkout CMSSW_9_4_X ; git merge CMSSW_9_4_MAOD_X" it is obtained by applying on top of CMSSW_9_4_X the result of the "git diff CMSSW_9_4_X..CMSSW_9_4_MAOD_X".

The result of "git diff --name-only fc-MAODbackport..CMSSW_9_4_MAOD_X" is empty.

In this way the synchronisation of the 94X and 9_4_MAOD_X code happens without jeopardising the commit history (affected by forward ports). For the detailed history of the commits the 9_4_MAOD_X branch can be checked

@smuzaffar @slava77 this is the backport of 9_4_MAOD_X into 9_4_X that avoids messing up the commit history

@slava77 @perrotta @fabozzi @prebello after the validation of 9_4_9_cand2, I think it is simpler to merge this PR, and I will produce one more to backport #23708
