Title: Cpp func

Hi Sam,

With these changes, we will use C++ code distributed with the tutorials of ROOT releases to steer the CLs calculation, rather than my outdated python translation from 2011. If we need to change calculators, then assuming the interface stays the same, we will only need to swap out one .C file, rather than translate a new one into python (error prone).

There are two triggers to compile it: (a) in stats.py, so that the library is ready before batch jobs get submitted; (b) in calc.py, in case we make changes to the .C file and steer it with test.py.
