Upgrade support for geometry building from .sqlite files
Allow running of ITk/PLR/HGTD simulation using "pre-minted" .sqlite inputs, as is planned for the Run4 workflow.
This can be toggled by use of ConfigFlags.GeoModel.SQLiteDB = "../ITk.db"
or similar.
This does not yet guarantee anything sensible for SiHitIDs
, nor does it allow the ReadoutGeometry to be built (waiting on further developments to push necessary information to "auxiliary tables" in .sqlite files) but it allows simulation to run and will allow for e.g. validation of the material between the old and new geometry workflows.
Adding a few interested people.
