Afrika Bambaataa Release

This release is FULL of changes, some of them should go unnoticed by users and others were specifically requested...besides the smattering of bug fixes for specific use cases we have:

The MCwrapper-bot FE has been split from the gluex_MCwrapper repo. This should make maintenance of both easier.

Big changes to the submission and recording of new jobs. Now jobs that only differ by file_number are submitted all at once in a single condor_submit. All checks for duplicated batch_job_id have been removed (have never seen this ever happen again and it was needlessly slowing things down). DB inserts are also done in one transaction per "bundle". This means that high volume MC production, especially those of a single run number get submitted in seconds as opposed to hours (pending number of jobs).

scosg20 production: scosg20 is quite a bit different from its predecessor scosg16. From file system mountings to network topology running on scosg20 took quite a few tweaks to MCWrapper. These tweaks should enable future moves to be far less painful.

geantBEAM is now runnable via MCwrapper (thanks @s6pepaul)

gen_vec_ps generator now added to MCwrapper (thanks @jrstevenjlab)

and probably the biggest addition, evtgen. That's right! decay_evtgen is now fully supported in MCwrapper and should be available via the submit sim page!

What's Changed

• Pp geant beam by @s6pepaul in #61
• Add check to make sure mcsmear and reco/ana are not run with geantBEAM by @s6pepaul in #62
• Add genBH by @s6pepaul in #63
• Gen vec ps by @T-Britton in #65
• Pp evtgen by @s6pepaul in #66
• Pp evtgen by @s6pepaul in #67
• Various fixes by @s6pepaul in #68
• remove ROOT dependency by @s6pepaul in #71

Too $hort Release

besides some touchups (e.g. better error handling, a few new specific options) there are 2 main changes in this release:

1. When running overt a range of run numbers MCwrapper now uses uses the luminosity in the energy range specified by the user to normalize the number of events to produce for each run number which satisfies the appropriate RCDB_QUERY. Thanks @jrstevenjlab !

2. Future osg submit nodes will not have lustre mounted. It was discovered that CLAS was abusing lustre via the submit node thus to prevent future probles lustre mounts were removed from the current submit node. As such quite a few changes were required in MCwrapper bot to remove the need for lustre mounts. Currently, the output sizes are no longer updated while a better solution is found. This does not impact running at all
