[Rivet] Multiple HepMC weights support in RIVET

[Andy Buckley]

Chris or David should respond about the multiweight branch, which
should (soon?) be available for beta testing.

On specifying a particular weight to use, we've put it off for so long
in the belief that true multiweight was just around the corner... but
it seems to me to anyway be a useful thing to be able to specify (or
to regexp match on weight names...), when you don't want to dump out
the whole lot. I could add this for the upcoming v2.6.0: thoughts on
how best to do it for future compatibility, Dave/Chris?
