Extrapolating outside of the active telescope coverage with General Broken Lines

Lennart Huth requested to merge lhuth/corryvreckan:gbl_oustide_telescope into master

This MR fixes #100 (closed).

All planes included in the geometry have a state anyways and can therefore simply be accessed. If there are not clusters on both sides of the track, the kinks are set to zero for theses planes and essentially a straight line connecting the first/last two clusters is generated (GBL is doing this internally).

If you insist on pointing somewhere further out, I've added a private function expanding getIntercept(double z) to match your needs. A warning is printed in this case the first 10 times.

@mvicente: Could you test if this works for you?

Resolution looks worse using a GBL if one looks at the last plane compared to s straight line. Plots will follow soon
