Clean up caloParams configurations in L1Trigger/L1TCalorimeter

[perrotta]

After the merge of https://github.com/cms-sw/cmssw/pull/42469 and https://github.com/cms-sw/cmssw/pull/42632, which are needed to provide all the configuration files required by the customizations listed in L1Trigger/Configuration/python/customiseSettings.py and updated last in https://github.com/cms-sw/cmssw/pull/42245, the directory L1Trigger/L1TCalorimeter/python is now flooded by configurations which are of no usage inside CMSSW.

Those configurations are wanted instead in the private L1T calo branch, in order to save an history of all them, and retrieve what was used or tested at a given time in case of need.

They were all ported in CMSSW because the developers would like to have synchronized the code in CMSSW and the one in their private branch, which is easier to maintain and port back and forth. However, flooding CMSSW with files non needed there is something that should be better avoided.

The above PRs were merged nonetheless in master CMSSW to allow L1T continue developing in CMSSW. However, this issue is intended to remind @cms-sw/l1-l2 to finally clean up L1Trigger/L1TCalorimeter/python from the files not needed in CMSSW.

They will certainly find the most convenient solution for maintaining CMSSW clean and saving in their local branch all the configurations they want to. Here I list a few possible alternative solutions:

• In the local branch, make a subdirectory of L1Trigger/L1TCalorimeter/python which contains a customiseSettings.py and all configurations for all files not needed in cmssw, so that only the content of the main directory needs to be kept synchronized with CMSSW
• Insert in L1Trigger/Configuration/python/customiseSettings.py a clearly visible comment that signals that all the settings from there on refer to configurations that are only in the private branch, and not in cmssw, for example:

  
  #
  ### The following customizations refer to caloparams configurations that are
  ### to be found only in the private L1TCalo branch: ask developers for details
  #

def L1TSettingsToCaloParams_BlaBla(process): ...

At that point, all the configurations listed below that comment line can be removed from CMSSW.

@perrotta Thanks for this. This will go onto the priority list after handling the ongoing ZDC emulator integration, phase 2 GT menu configuration, and the upcoming L1T Athens workshop.
