Inconsistency between apfelcomb and commondata w.r.t DYP grids.

Created by: rabah-khalek

@enocera and I, noticed that the apfelcomb internal kinematics grid are defined differently than the one in commondata. Take for example: POSDYU you'll see here: apfelcomb/data/FTDY/POSDYU.hcx that the first data point for instance as:

1 DYP_PPY_CON_UP    1.0000011047658307E-002  0.90000099428924774        5.0000000000000000                1          85

so namely:

Q2 = 5.0000000000000000

while in the commondata: DATA_POSDYU.dat the first data point:

 1	DYP_PPY_CON_UP	-2.249904835165133e+00	1.000000000000000e+02	1.054092553389460e+02	0.000000000000000e+00	0.000000000000000e+00

so namely:

Q2 = 1.000000000000000e+02

that would lead to some inconsistencies in computing the FK tables for positivity no? since the partonic cross sections are computed at a scale (given in the hcx file) different than the scale associated to kinematics.

I will open a PR where I regenerate these hcx files according to the commondata.
