Introducing the fixes needed in order to read the old RCU firmware format (v<3) with the new altro decoder. The fixes are done in a way so that it would be easy to remove this addition whenever the backward compatibility will not be needed anymore. Removal of some obsolete code related to the dummy altro trailer. It is not used by the detectors for long time as they implemented their real hardware mapping.
First step towards reading of the new RCU firmware trailer. Thanks to Luciano we now have an opportunity to decide automatically whenever we get old or new (v2) firmware format. That is why all the SetOldRCUFormat methods have been removed from RAW, TPC, FMD, PHOS, EMCAL and HLT modules.
New detector numbering scheme (common for DAQ/HLT/Offline). All the subdetectors shall use the AliDAQ class for the sim and rec of the raw data. The AliDAQ and raw reader classes now provide all the necessary interfaces to write and select the detector specific raw-data payload. Look into the AliDAQ.h and AliRawReader.h for more details.
New version of the Altro raw data coding and decoding. Two basic changes. 1. The raw data payload is stored in little endian format. The old big endian inversion of the payload has been copletely removed. 2. The RCU simulation and reading is added in the corresponding classes.
