adding option to skip some of the std content of the ESD, by default

AliESDZDC,AliESDFMD,Cascades,Kinks,AliRawDataErrorLogs,AliESDACORDE are skipped
component argument '-skipobject=name1,name2' can be used the change the list of
objects, names refer to the ESD std object identifiers.

Speedup for pp min bias 2.5, for Hijing 1000 PbPb 1.4
