[Halld-physics] Resonances No Longer Allowed in DReactionStep

I've just checked in a change to the svn repository that prevents users from setting a resonance PID in their DReactionStep objects. Setting "Unknown" is also no longer allowed, except it can be set for a missing final state particle. For example, if you are studying the channel:
g, p -> pi+, pi+, pi-, (n)
you can no longer setup your DReaction with an intermediate rho resonance, e.g.:
g, p -> pi+, rho, (n) rho -> pi+, pi-
This is because inclusion of resonances (such as above) can create false additional particle combinations, since it is not correct to assign a pion as exclusively belonging to the rho decay.
If your analysis plugin contains a resonance, you'll have to remove it or else the program will exit.
