Introduce a Generic validation tool for dataset validation in the alignment all-in-one tool

[mmusich]

PR description:

This PR profits of two existing EDAnalyzers in Alignment/OfflineValidation: GeneralPurposeTrackAnalyzer and GeneralPurposeVertexAnalyzer to introduce a new "validation" flavour in the all-in-one tool called Generic in order to produce generic track and vertex quantities that is useful to cross-check to validate the content of datasets (be them real data or MC).
I provide here full interlacing with the all-in-one meta-tool and updated documentation. The unit tests of the package are updated accordingly. I profit of this PR to introduce few improvements in GeneralPurposeVertexAnalyzer via commit a3a7371.

PR validation:

scram b runtests_Genericall runs fine.
