EventList: Can templated code support more types of event data?

[Janik Zikovsky]

• Try to template lots of the EventList code so as to cleverly reuse code.
• Add a WeightedEventNoTime that has a weight but no more pulse time (for use by a future CompressEvents) that will use 8 bytes less memory. Time filtering would not be possible anymore.
• Rely on compiler inlining to make accessor methods such as getSignal() most efficient possible.
  • Check that it is indeed inlined by looking at intermediate or machine code.

[Janik Zikovsky]

• Use the same generic programming techniques as the STL: i.e. not class-based methods, but functionality-based ones. The compiler will catch any errors (missing functions etc)

(In [8819]) EventLists can now have 3 types of underlying data: TofEvent, WeightedEvent, and WeightedEventNoTime (which drops the pulsetime information). A later CompressEvents algorithm will convert to WeightedEventNotime. Extensive changes to the EventList tests to check every possible combination of every method. Refs #2245
