SurfaceStep Compression Configuration

[AndrewEdmonds11]

This PR goes with Mu2e/Offline#1306. At the moment, I have done the following (there are some questions):

• added a MakeSurfaceSteps configuration to the primary prolog.fcl
  • do we want this done at this early stage? if we are not going to regenerate other DetectorSteps, we could move it into the digitization stage
• added SurfaceStep noCompression compression at the end of the primary stage
  • do we want to do any actual compression at this early stage? I don't think so but let me know if you disagree
• added SurfaceStep compression to the digi and reco stages where we only keep the SurfaceStep if we are keeping the associated SimParticle
  • again, I think this is what we want but let me know if not

And some things I haven't done:

• dropped StepPointMCs from any output
  • will this affect any validation?
• added SurfaceSteps for mixed background frames
  • see below

On this latter point, the SurfaceSteps are smaller in size than the StepPointMCs so there may be some space to add SurfaceSteps for pileup processes. From product_sizes_dumper output of a 5-event dts file:

• SurfaceSteps: 1.4 kB / event
• all StepPointMCs: 9.0 kB / event
