New FastSim Tracker RecHit Masking

[lveldere]

New mechanism to mask tracker rechit combinations from track iterations,
if they were well-reconstructed in earlier iterations.
(FastTrackingMaskProducer replaces SimTrackIdProducer)

Introduced mechanism to mask single rechits,
but masks are not yet filled.
(requires some changes in RecHitProducer)

Small changes expected in FastSim:
Masking no longer depends on track chi2.
(it never should have)

please test

The tests are being triggered in jenkins.
