Import NanoAOD-tools postoprocessor to CMSSW

[namapane]

PR description:

Addressing #41839, this PR imports the posprocessor functionality of cms-nanoAOD/nanoAOD-tools (without obsolete correction modules) into CMSSW.
Compared to the original version, the following changes have been made:

• dropped of all correction modules, which are obsolete and, if needded, should be replaced with correctionlib-based modules to be stored in an external repository;
• removed functionality that is already present in CMSSW; in particular, take ReduceMantissaToNbitsRounding from DataFormats/Math (dictionaries added therein for this purpose);
• minimal updates for python3;
• reorganized examples according to CMSSW standards; in particular, move example scripts and lib to test/ (and add some basic comments)
• Small update to allow passin branchsel as a list (and not just as a filename);
• Adapted the standalone checkout scripts to allow a sparse shallow clone of the package;
• Updated README.md to reflect the above modifications.
