* fetch the run number that is written in the output hddm file
from the HddmOutput object which contains a value that was loaded with the current run number in hdgeant.cc, in contrast to the G4 run number that normally starts off with zero and increments each time a new simulation run is started. The G4 event number is a serial number that G4 assigns to each event in the order they are picked up by one of the worker threads. It is used by the internal random seeds bookkeeping so we do not want to change it to match the event number from the input hddm file and screw up that bookkeeping. Similarly, we don't want to mess with what G4 calls the "RunID" which is a unique sequence number assigned at each invocation of /run/beamOn, and does not correspond to the GlueX run number that is written in the output file. If we keep our own run/event numbers separate and distinct from the G4 run/ event numbers then this confusion should not come back to bite us again in the future.
