Updated material rejection for SV reconstruction with ITk

Thomas Strebler requested to merge tstreble/athena:ITk_SV_MatRej_FTAG into 21.9

This MR introduces the possibility to use a map for the rejection of secondary vertices used in FTAG algorithms, generated dynamically from the beam pipe and pixel detector manager. This avoids the use of hardcoded numbers to encode the geometry, which may evolve in simulation, and is more appropriate to describe the ITk endcap geometry than the existing fixed radius veto.

The option is still switched off for now, to avoid any interference with the upcoming PhysVal campaign. It will be turned on through a subsequent MR once validated with the new samples.

This follows the work of @nekumari presented here
