Enable crab to get Histo names from JobReport

[ericvaandering]

Original Savannah ticket 6527 reported by slacapra on Sun Mar 2 17:22:49 2008.

In CMSSW_2_0_x, files written by the TFileService (the only reliable and
supported way for users to write histogram files from EDAnalyzers) will
be listed in the Job report.

They will be listed like this:

<AnalysisFile>
<FileName>/uscms/home/ewv/TFileService/CMSSW_2_0_0_pre2/src/PhysicsTools/UtilAlgos/test/histo.root</FileName>
<Source Value="TFileService" />
</AnalysisFile>

With this modification, we can think about adding a CRAB option to add
all files the user is writing to the output file list automatically
rather than relying on the user to spell their filename correctly twice.

This might turnout not to be an entirly trivial change
since the current logic in CRAB (cms_cmssw.py,SchedulerGrid.py,SchedulerCondor_g.py)
rely on knowing the output filename upfront.

I've checked that in CMSSW_2_0_0_pre9 the FWjobreport does
contain the info about the file written with TFileService:

<AnalysisFile>
<FileName>/tmp/afanfani/afanalyzer/histo.root</FileName>
<Source Value="TFileService" />
</AnalysisFile>

however the FwkJobRep code in PRODCOMMON to parse the xml
is not up to date.
For that the files needed on top of the PRODCOMMON HEAD are: /afs/cern.ch/user/a/afanfani/public/CRAB/AnalysisFile/

Done.

If TFileServic is in pset, the output file is automatically added to the list of crab output files.
Case if user already explicitly list the file is dealt with.

Can be turned off by setting
[CMSSW]
skip_TFileService_output = 1

in crab.cfg
