Extend support for overrides for path construction with histogram and ntuple inputs #435

Open alexander-held opened 10 months ago

alexander-held commented 10 months ago

433 revealed that overrides for path construction with histogram inputs only covered {VariationPath} and not the region- and sample-specific options. At least sample-specific overrides seem like they could be frequently needed.

Investigate which additional options need to be supported for both ntuple and histogram inputs. Relevant documentation: https://cabinetry.readthedocs.io/en/latest/core.html

A VariationPath setting may be needed for ntuples in case of multi-tree ntuples with one tree per systematic.
