looser cuts in Acts Track Finding branch stopper

Tim Adye requested to merge adye/athena:adye-ckf63 into main

The track selection minimum pT and maximum |η| cuts performed in the branch stopper are applied to tracks with poorer resolution than the final track. This MR uses looser cuts in the branch stopper, by default 0.9 times the pT cut (eg. pT≥0.81 GeV in the barrel) and and extra 0.1 in |η| (ie. |η|<4.1).

The previous behaviour can be restored for comparison purposes by setting flags.Acts.doTrackFindingTrackSelector=3.

This should fix one source of inefficiency spotted by @astefl.
