Skip invalid channels in the GPU HCAL RecHit producer [12.5.x]

[fwyzard]

PR description:

This PR consistes of two parts:

• the GPU code now marks as invalid (setting chi² = -9999.) the HCAL channels for which it cannot determine the SOI;
• the CPU code that converts from SoA to legacy format now skips all invalid channels.

See h#39693 for a discussion on the underlying issues.

PR validation:

Tested on top of CMSSW_12_4_10 over the events that caused the HLT to crash in runs 357898, 359998, and 360295.
Without these changes the original crash can be reproduced in multiple files:

----- Begin Fatal Exception 14-Oct-2022 20:27:30 CEST-----------------------
An exception of category 'Conditions not found' occurred while
   [0] Processing  Event run: 360295 lumi: 174 event: 264575349 stream: 7
   [1] Running path 'Path'
   [2] Calling method for module CaloTowersCreator/'hltTowerMakerForAll'
Exception Message:
Unavailable Conditions of type HcalChannelQuality for cell (0x0) 
----- End Fatal Exception -------------------------------------------------

With these changes the HLT jobs run to completion on almost all those files (barring one that is affected by a different, ECAL-related crash).

If this PR is a backport please specify the original PR and why you need to backport that PR. If this PR will be backported please specify to which release cycle the backport is meant for:

Backport of #39738 for data taking.

[cmsbuild]

This pull request is fully signed and it will be integrated in one of the next CMSSW_12_5_X IBs (tests are also fine) and once validation in the development release cycle CMSSW_12_6_X is complete. This pull request will now be reviewed by the release team before it's merged. @perrotta, @dpiparo, @rappoccio (and backports should be raised in the release meeting by the corresponding L2)
