Externals Update, master branch (2022.05.12.)

Updated all projects to atlasexternals-2.0.133. It includes the following 2 changes wrt. atlasexternals-2.0.132 (atlasexternals@2.0.132...2.0.133):

  • Taught FindGMock.cmake how to find debug versions of the GoogleMock libraries;
    • As I discovered in ATLASG-1634, this fix is necessary to make it possible to build AnalysisBase in debug mode;
  • Switched the Geant4 build to only producing static libraries (for ATLASSIM-3150).

Even though @bmorgan did so as well, I also tested the AthSimulation build with these updates, just for fun. 😛

I.e. statically linking all the G4 libraries into AtlasGeant4 does make these libraries significantly larger. Exactly as I was expecting it to. 😉

Pinging @jchapman, @tlari.

P.S. This is a significant change in the build, so full-build and full-unit-tests are absolutely necessary...
