implementation of a "localcopy" feature to take output file from a SE to the user local area

Original Savannah ticket 6388 reported by spiga on Sun Feb 10 11:41:45 2008.

If the job output is copied to a SE, as it must be done for largish output, the user typically does not have interactive access to that SE from the node where he/she works. So, in order to use the output, the first thing is to copy locally the output produced. Crab should provide such a functionality, using the proper copy command (srmcp or lcg-cp or cmscp or whatever) for all the files.

First implementation done. Still missing:
o) allow user to select lcg-cp vs srmcp
o) try the copy only if status is Done/Cleared with exit status 0
o) add rmall functionality, to remove all files from SE

Actually copyData feature has been implemented.

need to improve
--- PhEDExDatasvcInfo.py in order to handle more generic params (not only crab.cfg specific)
--- implement the possibility to copy from SE to SE
(this imply to review a bit how to pass the right arguments)
