Create LCContent/EventWritingAlgorithm

#16 (comment)

Testing is a bit involved if you've not done it before. What you need to do (or Steve might have time to take a look; we haven't talked about this in detail yet) is implement a LC-specific version of the SDK-provided EventWriting and EventReading algorithms (could inherit most functionality). You'd then need to register your factory objects with the EventWriter/EventReader instance.

To test, you'd then run a LC job, with an EventWriting algorithm instance running as e.g. the first (might as well, for clarity) algorithm. You can then reproduce the same reconstruction input, then output, using the LCReco entry point application (see LCReco on GitHub), running a standard PandoraSettings file, but with an instance of the EventReading algorithm first up.

There's some examples (a little bit involved) of how we have done this for the LArTPC use case, linked below. The idea is that you just need to register the factories with the pandora:: FileWriter and pandora::FileWriter, then proceed as before.

When writing or reading e.g. a Track, the existing derived binary and xml implementations will pass control to the registered factory to do their "extra" bit of writing/reading before working with the standard object properties described in the SDK.
