…onUpdate_from-CMSSW_7_6_0_pre5 Updated flavor parton selection for Pythia8
This is a follow up to #10751, #11076, and #11501 where the hadron- and parton-based jet flavors were decoupled. This led to the realization that the parton selection for Pythia8 was not inclusive enough and in particular was failing to pick up some of the b and c quarks, resulting in spoiled b-tag performance curves in the b-tag DQM.
In addition, the selection of b and c quarks for MiniAOD was updated by dropping any selection based on the particle status code. The increase in the MiniAOD size resulting from this PR was tested by making MiniAOD from /RelValTTbar_13/CMSSW_7_6_0_pre5-76X_mcRun2_asymptotic_v1-v1/GEN-SIM-RECO and was found to be small (~0.9%).
