Improvements to HLT Validation

[Sam-Harper]

PR description:

This PR modifies the HLT basic validation code to better meet the needs of the HLT group. Currently none of this code is run centrally however it is intended to be added to validation workflows in the near future once we are happy the validation is exactly what we want.

It consists of a general code cleanup of the modules, the ability to plot masses, bug fixes where it wasnt working well with the current DQM system, addition of resolution plots, addition of hadronic taus and fixes to the config syntax to more easily make the plots.

It also adds customisations to add this to any config.

It is designed to work with https://cmshltvalidation.app.cern.ch which displays these results. It is intended to run a basic validation on demand which is somewhere between the usual runTheMatrix and PR tests and a full scale validation.

This was most recently presented at https://indico.cern.ch/event/1426780/contributions/6008585/attachments/2880267/5045796/cmshltvalidation.pdf

PR validation:

The plots in https://cmshltvalidation.app.cern.ch look as expected

This is still a draft PR and is not yet ready to be reviewed
