TPC digitization currently crashes when multiple workers try to load FEEConfig via TPC/Config/RunInfoV2.
Recently the TPC code was changed to use this redirecting object. The hypothesis is that there is a problem in the CcdbApi when using CCDB redirects which is bypassing semaphore syncronization of CCDB loads. This leads to race conditions and corrupted CCDB snapshots.
This commit reduces such a race condition by pre-downloading TPC/Config/RunInfoV2 before launching multi-process TPC digitization procedures.
We can take the change back once a proper fix is available in O2-CCDB.
