Backporting MC Filter to CMSSW_12_4_X series for Run3 2022 production

[MohitS704]

It was conveyed to the off-shell team today that we need yet another backport to the CMSSW_12_4_X series in order to centrally produce and shower 2022 samples for Run 3.

So, in the same vein as the original PR, the first backport, and the second backport, we are backporting the MCMultiParticleMassFilter to CMSSW, this time for the 12_4_X series.
