PR to add prod and run cards to produce a gridpack for ZToQQ events with up to 3 spectator jets for central production of the sample.

Sample requested in the scope of H->bb at low pt [1] and X->bb searches[2], needed as peaking bkg + SM candle for analysis strategy validation

Hello! Is this the same process as in the following cards, except for changing the HT bin?

If so, why don't you add the 4th additional jet in the proc card?

Hello! It is indeed the same process and the cards are generated in the exact same way, though the gridpack for 0-4 jets fails due to condor errors (probably a memory or runtime issue, we are investigating with @bkronhei). Since we do not rely on jet multiplicity and the addition of the fourth jet would yield 0.1% variation on the inclusive cross section we decided to go with 0-3 for the time being. We are also exploring the possibility of expanding the range of this or the 0-4 jets grid from HT100-200 to HT0-200 to be inclusive on the full HT spectrum. We can wait a couple of days and I can modify this PR according to the results of these investigations or we can close this and I can open another one once we are settled on njet and HT spectrum.
