Track strategy tuning

The LCSim Java package used for track reconstruction in the FPaDSim software chain relies on a list of “tracking strategies,” which is a list of tracking layer collections for seeding, confirming, and extending tracks. These collections must be optimized for a particular geometry configuration and can be tuned for minimum number of hits, max chi^2, etc. In order to optimize the strategies list, a representative data set must be simulated, containing a significant number of tracks that span the phase space and particle species to be tracked. This then serves as an input to the strategy list builder built into the LCSim package.
