New module: DepositionReader

Simon Spannagel requested to merge depositionreader into master

This MR adds a new module which allows to read energy deposits for file and to dispatch them as DepositedCharge messages into the framework. This works as a replacement for other deposition methods and acts as unique module, covering all detectors.

This MR is still work in progress, and a few questions need to be answered and things implemented:

  • Is UNIQUE really the best type for this or should we rather allow for reading a file per detector? I guess both makes sense but we need to decide (and thus force the input)
  • What file formats should be supported? @tbilloud mentioned that he would like to use Pythia data - but that would first have to be propagated through the sensor.
  • Parsing should be improved
  • Documentation is missing
  • Tests have to be added
