LAr Calorimeter Signal FeedThroughs detailed geometry implemented.

LAr Calorimeter Signal FeedThroughs detailed geometry implemented (ATLASSIM-4437).

LAr Calo dead material description was simplified for the Barrel and EC FeedThroughs and Front-End Crates.

The introduced changes are:

  1. Detailed description for each Signal FT, including corresponding materials.
  2. Extra structures for Endcap FTs (cables, chimneys).
  3. Endcap FEC size and position fixes.

To activate, one has to set

from LArGeoAlgsNV.LArGeoAlgsNVConf import LArDetectorToolNV
LArDetectorToolNV.ActivateFeedThrougs=True

Otherwise, the earlier behavior remains.

The patch contains slight change of CALO and Muon envelope volumes (a 12 mm Z plane shift at the back of the calorimeter), and this may affect other systems. Overlap check with ROOT shows no clashes.
