sPHENIX discussion of software

[Chris Pinkenburg <pinkenburg AT bnl.gov>]

Hi folks,

our old simulations are not readable with the current software. In order 
to have something to play with I ran 1000 particles of the usual species 
and eta ranges with our current simulations for the 1d and 2d spacal. 
The output is on our brand new sphenix gpfs filesystem under:

/sphenix/sim/sim01/production/2016-01-27/spacal1d/fieldmap/
/sphenix/sim/sim01/production/2016-01-27/spacal2d/fieldmap/

In the future (at least until we have something like a file 
catalog/lookup for simulations), you will find our simulation 
productions under /sphenix/sim/sim01/production, then the simulation 
purpose (or date if it's just a refresh to see the new stuff), then 
hopefully self explanatory subdirectories what's really in there.

I also restructured the macros a bit under the hood. The 
G4Setup_sPHENIX.C (and _fsPHENIX.C) should only contain G4 simulation 
related setups needed to create the G4Hits. This keeps the number of 
macros one needs to copy for those simulation runs small and enables me 
to use the G4Setup_sPHENIX.C macro from the git repository (the Fun4All 
macro has to change to digest parameters passed down). Things which are 
only used during the analysis stage of the G4Hits (like jets, global 
reco, bbc) were moved into the Fun4All_G4_(f)sPHENIX.C macros and macros 
are only loaded if the use flag is true. It doesn't make a difference 
for normal use but it declutters the simulation running.

Chris
