[Rivet] CMS_2015_I1388555: boosted top 8 TeV

[Markus Seidel]

Hi Andy,

it seems that (almost all of) the implementation of the PseudoBoostedTop 
projection got lost.

It is present in our internal repository but we want to move to either a 
particle-level workaround or the PartonicTops projection.

Cheers,
Markus
