Support for MadGraph v2.7.2 #6

Hello @qliphy !

We (Belle II) need to use MadGraph v2.7.2 for our software. Of course the plugin clearly reports only validated for v2.6.6.

I try it anyway and run into this problem. It seems they now force a fixed factorization scale.

Command "generate_events run_01" interrupted with error:
InvalidRunCard : Photon from electron are using fixed scale value of muf [dsqrt_q2fact2] as the cut off value of the approximation.
    For EPA this number should be small (for HERA prediction it should be 2 at most)
INFO:  
quit
INFO:  
Generation failed (no results.dat file found)
quit

... my run cards and model all work without the ISR plugin (I can send everything if it helps, at all). So we think it is some setting in the plugin.

Thanks a lot! Sam (also tagging @tferber, and @GiacomoXT)
