[Rivet] New analysis: ATLAS_2012_I1094061

< ~ topic change/>

Once this is in, my only blocker for the 1.8.3 mcplots-testing to start
(and the release asap after) is that I'd like to add a bool
Particle::fromDecay() method, to return true if a status 2 hadron or tau
is found in the particle's ancestor list. This is a limited version of
the isPrompt() method that I'd like to have in general to distinguish
particles (particularly leptons and photons) resulting from hadron
decays and QED FSR from those from the primary interaction*. Will Bell
asked me for some way to exclude muons from semi-leptonic b decays when
looking for leptonic W decay products, and I've had in mind for a while
that this is a safe and sensible way to do it.

Ok with everyone? I'll put it in both the AIDA branch and the YODA
trunk... 2.0.0b1 coming as soon as I've done a few YODA tweaks and
checked/ensured that the installation isn't a nightmare on lxplus.

[*] I don't want to say "hard process" because I don't know how or if
MPI-associated particles can/should be distinguished: probably not.
