Missing Herwig backports for 13_0 (2023 gen production)

[Dominic-Stafford]

Backports #8670 (patches to propagate LHE numbering through Herwig), #8794 (fix for seg fault in Herwig min bias), #8809 (use external collier and ninja for madgraph) and #9206 (add a collier toofile) for use in 2023 production (until now this branch had not been being maintained for backports, but we are now starting to get requests which need this to be up-to-date)

@cms-sw/orp-l2 feel free to merge and include it for next 13.0 IB/release

[cmsbuild]

This pull request is fully signed and it will be integrated in one of the next IB/CMSSW_13_0_X/master IBs (tests are also fine). This pull request will now be reviewed by the release team before it's merged. @rappoccio, @antoniovilela, @sextonkennedy (and backports should be raised in the release meeting by the corresponding L2)

[smuzaffar]
