Resolve "Validate tt+jets for Sherpa 3.0.0"

Enrico Bothmann requested to merge 490-validate-tt-jets-for-sherpa-3-0-0 into master

Description

  • Revert changes to RSTrigger, see #490 (closed), because it broke the total cross section for RS 2->4 @PeterMeinzinger @shoeche If you need this commit to be re-reverted, we'd need to understand first why it breaks the TTBar benchmark This is now properly fixed, retaining the restructuring of the RSTrigger, but fixing a bug in the treatment of the real term.
  • Fix numerical comparison-to-zero issues in AMEGIC's external state construction, which led to NaNs and crashes in the BVI part
  • This includes a fix-up by @max.knobbe for the recent modifications to the massive splitting kernels

Test Plan

  • Run HL_TTLHC benchmark, don't get the many issues found and discussed in #490 (closed)

Example Result

Additional Checklist Items

  • I have updated documentation as needed
  • I considered if this should be cherry-picked/ported somewhere else (rel-2-x or master), and if yes, opened a corresponding issue or MR

Closes #490 (closed)
