Simulation of the pixel bad components on the FED channel basis

[tsusa]

The PR introduces a simulation of the pixel bad components on the FED channel bases (needed for the simulation of stuckTBMs and DCDC issue). To simulated FED bad channel the scenarios from Pixel PCL payloads are utilised. The approach was presented at the last simulation meeting https://indico.cern.ch/event/777956/contributions/3239525/attachments/1765581/2866399/tanjaSim_04112018.pdf.
The PR introduces the novel SiPixelFEDChannelContainer and SiPixelQualityProbabilities Condition formats.
The changes proposed here are:

• added SiPixelFEDChannelContainer and SiPixelQualityProbabilities;
• added corresponding records for the EventSetup, respectively SiPixelStatusScenariosRcd and SiPixelStatusScenarioProbabilityRcd;
• added serialization tests for the new objects;
• added payload writers and readers for the new CondFormats;
• added utilities to import/fetch and dump payloads of the new type;

Caveat: SiPixelFEDChannelContainer is essentially a wrapper around PixelFEDChannel, which being a DataFormat necessitates its own (trivial) serialization/deserialization rules (implemented in CondFormats/External). As we don't foresee to ever have to change the content of the DataFormat schema evolution is implicitly avoided.

The changes are introduced in the SiPixelDigitizer, where in each event one scenario is randomly chosen and the bad components contained in the chosen scenario are killed. The information about killed components is propagated to the the tracking via SiPixelRawToDigi.
The new feature is switched off by default.

something wrong happened with the commits.
perhaps this is due to the "global" issue that triggered many other PRs to be inconsistent/appearing to merge many unrelated PRs

[smuzaffar]

@ggovi , @perrotta @mmusich

• Header Consistency: please ignore these, we get a lot of Internel compiler Errors, so this check can be ignore for now.
• The duplicate dictionary failure is a real issue but not due to this PR. This problem exists in the IBs too. problem is [a] where we have a plugin definition in side a shared library. Any plugin which links against this shared library exposes this EcalPedestalHistory definition to plugin manager. @ggovi I would propose to move this definition in to CondTools/Ecal/plugins

[a]

CondTools/Ecal/src/EcalPedestalHistory.cc:DEFINE_FWK_MODULE( EcalPedestalHistory );

[smuzaffar]

#25509 should fix the lost dictionary issue.

[perrotta]

Thank you @smuzaffar

• Pixel FED bad channels are included in simulation based on template scenarios stored in the DB
• The implementation follows what reported in the description
• Some performance or reliability improvement still possible, but given the temporary nature foreseen for this PR, which is expected to be reverted as soon as RelVals with these bad channels can be produced and studied, we did not insist for having improvements here
• Default behavior (which applies whenever the new bad pixels payloads are not in the DB) is unchanged with respect to the baseline: jenkins tests pass and show no differences

This pull request is fully signed and it will be integrated in one of the next master IBs (tests are also fine). This pull request will now be reviewed by the release team before it's merged. @davidlange6, @slava77, @smuzaffar, @fabiocos (and backports should be raised in the release meeting by the corresponding L2)
