[12.3.X] Introduce alignment campaign-like unit test for pede

[mmusich]

backport of #37211

PR description:

As discussed here cms-sw/cmsdist#7660 (comment) introduce a pede execution based off a real (small-scale) MC alignment campaign (cosmics-only). The needed input files to steer the execution are at: /store/group/alca_global/tkal_millepede_tests/

PR validation:

run scram b runtests_testPedeCampaign, but at the moment (for reason that are being investigated) the pede execution gets stuck (starting from CMSSW_12_3_0_pre3 onwards), while it run fine in previous pre-releases. (The issue, due to a wrong commit for the pede spec file in cmsdist has been solved in cms-sw/cmsdist#7685)
