[14.1.X] migrate calotowers creation code to use EcalPFRecHitThresholds

[mmusich]

backport of #45803

PR description:

This PR is the ECAL equivalent of #43329.
While our final aim is to fully deprecate calotowers, there is no clear ETA for that. Several POGs still use calotowers, specially at HLT. So, to ensure that correct HCAL thresholds are used in making calotowers, the safest way is to use the thresholds from GT.
That is what is done in this PR.
This PR was sparked by the observation that at the HLT we are using the following configuration:

EBThreshold = cms.double( 0.07 )
EEThreshold = cms.double( 0.3 )

which looks exceedingly low given that 0.3 GeV threshold in EE for all crystals is too small threshold to mitigate the noise in EE.
There are crystals in EE where the threshold is order of 10 GeV (reaching up to ~50 GeV or maybe even higher these days).
Indeed inspecting the last IOV of the EcalPFRecHitThresholdsRcd associated tag at HLT,

I see rather large thresholds especially in EE:

This PR allows to change the logic of the code to use the EcalPFRecHitThresholds from GT instead of the fixed values.
The new parameter EcalRecHitThresh is set to false, such that this PR is technically a no-op.

PR validation:

Validation was purely technical: runTheMatrix.py - l limited --ibeos.

If this PR is a backport please specify the original PR and why you need to backport that PR. If this PR will be backported please specify to which release cycle the backport is meant for:

This is a verbatim backport of #45803 to the 2024 PRef and HIon data-taking release (CMSSW_14_1_X). TSG is aiming to deploy this + a new version of the HLT JECs for that run.

This pull request is fully signed and it will be integrated in one of the next CMSSW_14_1_X IBs (tests are also fine) and once validation in the development release cycle CMSSW_14_2_X is complete. This pull request will now be reviewed by the release team before it's merged. @sextonkennedy, @mandrenguyen, @rappoccio, @antoniovilela (and backports should be raised in the release meeting by the corresponding L2)
