[Rivet] jetsBySomething

Hi,

the jetsBySomething() functions return a list of jets sorted by, well,
Something. So far, so good. It is also possible to pass a pT cut (!!!)
to those functions, which e.g. in case of jetsByEt() is a bit
counter-intuitive. The following analyses use jetsByEt() with a cut, and
looking at the corresponding publications it is clear that they *all*
want to cut on Et rather than pT:

 D0_1996_S3214044
 CDF_1998_S3618439
 CDF_2001_S4517016
 CDF_2001_S4563131
 CDF_2008_S7541902

In addition to that, the cuts in the publication for CDF_2001_S4517016
seem to be meant for raw jets, so I'm not sure this analysis is correct
at all. Frank, you've read the paper in detail -- am I wrong here?

The other four analyses seem to be okay once we fix the
jetsBySomething() behaviour. Since this is on the TODO list for 2.0
anyhow, I don't want to mess with it now. But I wonder whether we should
set them to UNVALIDATED in the meantime.

Opinions?

Cheers,

    Hendrik
