[14.0.X] Update test_MC_*_setup unit tests

[mmusich]

backport of #46438
backport of #45614

PR description:

As discussed in #45888 (comment) these unit tests failed to catch an issue when running the reconstruction of data coming out the HLT produced in an earlier release.
I am updating the tests to use the latest and greatest ingredients as of Oct 18, 2024 (both in terms of releases and GlobalTags) as well as activating catching failures in the HLT step when it's failing in the target release.
Additionally for the RECO step for the 2022 use the customization function fixReading_12_4_X_Files as suggested at #45888 (comment).
This PR backports also #45614 that was never ported back to this cycle.

PR validation:

scram b runtests runs fine in this package

This pull request is fully signed and it will be integrated in one of the next CMSSW_14_0_X IBs (tests are also fine) and once validation in the development release cycle CMSSW_14_2_X is complete. This pull request will now be reviewed by the release team before it's merged. @mandrenguyen, @sextonkennedy, @antoniovilela, @rappoccio (and backports should be raised in the release meeting by the corresponding L2)

[mmusich]

@cms-sw/orp-l2 is there anything outstanding with this backport, given the PR in cycles downstream have been validated in IBs?
Given that the 2022/2023 MC production will actually happen in this cycle, having a functional test here is arguably the most important.
