Added possibility to define a general HEPMCOFFSET.

[pbuehler]

This is useful when simulating different SPLITIDs/CYCLEs of a run in separate jobs.

For given parameters:
PRODSPLIT
NTIMEFRAMES
NSIGEVENTS
SPLITID
CYCLE

the offset can e.g. be calculated with:
HEPMCOFFSETecho "(${CYCLE}+${PRODSPLIT}*(${SPLITID}-1))*${NTIMEFRAMES}*${NSIGEVENTS}" | bc

Hi @sawenzel could you please have a look at this?

[alcaliva]

Dear @pbuehler,
your PR gives conflicts. Could you please check which other PRs are needed?

[pbuehler]

Hi @alcaliva, which conflicts do you mean?

[alcaliva]

I get conflicts when cherry-picking the PR, which implies that there is something else missing.

[pbuehler]

Doesn't it tell you where the conflict is?
To be honest I do not know how to do the check you suggest. However if you give me some guidance I am willing to help.

Hi @pbuehler,
is there any progress? We have created a new software tag and also this time we had to leave this PR out. Please, get in touch with @sawenzel in case you need help

Removing for cpass0 of pp 2024, it makes no sense there.

[alcaliva]

Hi @pbuehler,
this PR is there since a long time but it seems to be comòlicated to back port it. Do you have a solution for that? DO you still need it? Please let us know asap
