Fix UT sensor pitch size in DetDesc

Hangyi Wu requested to merge upgrade/ut-fix-pitch-size into upgrade/master

A comparison between DD4hep and DetDesc reveals that DetDesc has the pitch size not matching sensor specification documents.

Here I show a comparison of the histogram produced by TrackMonitor. This is by running a Moore job with the attached option file. +P/-P means correct/wrong pitch size, and +S/-S means correct/wrong strip number assignment.

Somehow I could not obtain a perfect match with an Alignment job (perhaps UT's DetDesc Alignment code is different with DD4hep Alignment code?) Anyway, I think DetDesc Alignment code will never be used, and the above comparison already shows at tracking level the discrepancies are fixed.
