Helicity formalism changed for some decays in changeset 162 (between v2r2 and v3r0)

Description

Prior to changeset 162 the helicity was flipped for any neutral resonance in the decay of a neutral particle. Now the flip no longer occurs in flavour-specific decays. This is the preferred setup and does not affect any physical results but it does contribute a pi phase flip to some odd-spin resonances (for example K*(892)0 in Bs->D0Kpi). Therefore results are not necessarily comparable between fits run before and after this changeset. This change occurred between v2r2 and v3r0.

Milestone: v3r0

To close this bug (required to release v3r0) the release notes need to be updated to very explicitly mention this change.
