xAOD::TrackParticle::time cleanup, master branch (2023.01.26.)

Attila Krasznahorkay requested to merge akraszna/athena:TPTimeCleanup-master-20230126 into master

This caught my eye during the HGTD talk today. (https://indico.cern.ch/event/1242268/#24-hgtd-status-update) Updated TrackParticle_v1.cxx to implement the xAOD::TrackParticle_v1::time() and xAOD::TrackParticle_v1::setTime(...) functions in a slightly more streamlined way.

My main problem with the existing time() function was that it introduced a function-specific exception in case the variable was missing. Which is really just making things worse than letting the core xAOD / auxiliary store code throw an appropriate exception in this case itself.
