Jit compile `to_awkward` with numba if possible

[ikrommyd]

It would be really nice if we can @numba.njit the to_awkward function. Awkward's array builder is numba-jittable but the input iterable of LHEEvents isn't. We would need to properly type it and tell numba how to compile it I think.

That's a good idea. It would be helpful for anyone going to do this to have a pointer to similar examples of code, for help/inspiration ... Let me also tag @Saransh-cpp as I believe he has done similar work in the past.

Thanks for the tag! Unfortunately, I have no experience working with LHE files and I won't have any time in the near future to look at this :(

Hi @Saransh-cpp, I tagged you just in case you have experience with making code numba friendly and could point to useful examples. No need to have experience with LHE files: I was not expecting that :). Thanks anyway, was worth the ping.
