Parentdirectory split strategy

Seperates inputdata files into different subjobs based on full path to the parent of the lowest directory in LFN path and file size or number of files restrictions.

Example: /alice/cern.ch/user/j/jalien/inputdatafile --> /alice/cern.ch/user/j

Example JDL:

User = "jalien";
JobTag = {
"Parentdirectory split!"
};
Packages = {
"VO_ALICE@O2Physics::daily-20241202-0000-1"
};
Executable = "/alice/cern.ch/user/j/jalien/bin/splitting.sh";
InputDataCollection = "LF:/alice/cern.ch/user/j/jalien/inputdatafileCollection.xml,nodownload";
Split = "parentdirectory";
Optional flags in JDL:
