overwrite default value of benchmark

Registered by Olivier Mattelaer

system by which we could transfer values from one model to another (e.g. W mass/width from sm to sm loop, potentially also to SUSY models or other UFOs)? Here our concern is about the variation in SM parameters like the top and W mass and width in exotic models in particular.

Whiteboard

The basic idea would be a file default_benchmark.dat in the input directory that would modify the default value in the param_card_default.dat. Same can be done (with less trouble on the run_card)

Now the issue to consider here are
1) internal parameter for a given model (like the W mass)
2) interaction with restricted model.
    2.1) incompatible value with the restriction
    2.2) induce a dangerous features since the default value of the param_card might be inconsistent with the restriction...

Suggestions:
 1: just raise a warning and ignore the value that the user tries to set via that mode
 2.1: as for 1: forget default value and raise a warning
 2.2: this is a share responsability of the model/user that we can not test deeply

Additionally, this option can be keep quite hidden to avoid too much issue related to it.
