PR description:

This PR improves ScoutingNano integration with autoNano. This mainly concerns using ScoutingNano flavour in combination with other nano flavours. The primary use case is in scouting vs offline object comparison studies using ScoutingPFMonitor datasets. Currently, ScoutingNano configuration replaces nanoSequence which is also used in standard nano, making combining ScoutingNano with standard NanoAOD unclear and difficult. While there exist recipes to compose scouting+standard, they are not intuitive and do not use the autoNano functionalities. Hence, this PR implements changes to allow combining scouting+standard with autoNano. This is achieved by creating new scoutingNanoSequence in the configuration file and not altering standard nanoSequence. For combining scouting+standard, both scoutingNanoSequence and nanoSequence will be scheduled on different paths to run. Additionally, in principle, ScoutingNano will be able to combine with other nano flavours in autoNano as well.

The changes also aims to better integrate with T0 processing workflow to prepare for scouting+standard NanoAOD production for ScoutingPFMonitor dataset in the future.

In addition, we use this opportunity to also

• Apply general code clean up.
• Implement customise functions for use with cmsDriver.py --customise:
  • add back scouting tracks and PF candidates after they were dropped in the previous PR for private production
• Reclustered jets use already-implemented energy fractions as opposed to recalculation as expressed in SimplePFJetFlatTable producer.

An accompanying documentation for this change is also available [1]. Examples using autoNano are provided and checked.
