[Rivet] Ok for Rivet 2.5.0 beta1?

[Andy Buckley]

Ok, more than a week later and still no release! But I think I have tied 
everything down now, at least to the point where beta testing is ok.

Doubtless the ATLAS and CMS efficiency functions need some work since I 
just copied them from Delphes configuration files with the exception of 
some ATLAS tau reco where I'm pretty sure the Delphes implementer didn't 
read the note correctly. But the machinery is working well, modulo the 
inapplicability to DressedLeptons as noted on another thread.

So, any reason not to tar this up and announce for beta testing today?

PS. FYI, 2.4.2 is also nearly ready to go. Chris found a few differences 
in pre-release validation, so is looking into those. Hopefully all 
explained by the PID decoding snafu that affected K_Ls and some extended 
baryon multiplets.
