Remove obsolete cms scripts 74X (Backport of #12783, except APEEstimation package)

[ghellwig]

This PR removes the usage of the following scripts in the alignment workflows:

cmsLs
cmsMkdir
cmsRm
cmsRmdir
cmsPfn
cmsStage
cmsStageIn
cmsStageOut

These will stop working in January 2016 [1] and have been replaced by supported alternatives.

Added also a commit to copy over a monitoring file for the MillePedeAlgorithm.

This pull request is fully signed and it will be integrated in one of the next CMSSW_7_4_X IBs (tests are also fine) and once validation in the development release cycle CMSSW_7_6_X is complete. This pull request requires discussion in the ORP meeting before it's merged. @slava77, @davidlange6, @Degano, @smuzaffar

[ghellwig]

I should maybe mention, that it is very important that we have a release with this PR soon because alignment workf-lows depend on it.

[mmusich]

@ghellwig can you clarify why the stress is on 74X?
You will get both data and MC reprocessed in 76X early next year. Just StreamExpress is bound to remain in 74X, but I am sure you are past this point

[ghellwig]

My understanding was that in beginning of 2016 we still need 74X, but if all data (incl. available MC) is usable in 76X you are absolutely right, that this stress is not needed.
