Release of Boole for 2024 with improved sub-detectors modelling

Release of Boole v47r0 for Sim10 Run3 new production 2024 to propagate all needed changes in detectors code including

Boole:

• !456 (closed) - Adapted the processes that needed to read conditions in Boole for VP simulation, VPDepositCreator and VPDigitCreator This MR has been closed because !566 (merged) should fix them
• !567 (merged) - Removed most hardcoded constants, and changed methods to follow index conventions for FT (requires Detector!442 (merged) and LHCb!4483 (merged))
• !575 (merged) - Read VELO hit efficiencies in the digitisation goes with lhcb-conddb/SIMCOND!268 (merged) (instead lhcb-conddb/SIMCOND!241 (closed) would be for realistic values for block 4. It should be re-done when we have everything in place. It might be valuable to have some non-perfect conditions to see some changes.)
• !461 (merged) - Use VP VolumeID to convert DD4hep volume ID to sensor number
• !601 (merged) - Updated VP simulation to read efficiency maps from conditions and reads lhcb-conddb/lhcb-conditions-database!175 . Includes !575 (merged) and !461 (merged) and a DD4HEP version of the VP efficiency map. To be re-evaluated after !461 (merged) is merged
• !579 (merged) - This MR relaxes the dependency on the version of Lbcom Using this once we have lhcb-2025-patches
• !584 (merged) - Improvements to UT front end simulation based on 2024 data together with Detector!621 (merged), LHCb!4639 (merged), Lbcom!747 (merged), lhcb-conddb/DDDB!138 (merged) and lhcb-conddb/SIMCOND!253 (merged)
  • it includes the code in !580 (merged) - Tidy up UT sim conditions (goes with lhcb-conddb/SIMCOND!240 (merged) and lhcb-conddb/lhcb-conditions-database!154 (merged) and LHCb!4608 (merged) picked up via patch-2024 synchronization LHCb!4647 (merged))
• !591 (merged) - Fix FT sensID
• !595 (merged) - Fix crosstalk in FT
• !577 (merged) - Implement FT spillover emulation (goes with lhcb-conddb/SIMCOND!238 and LHCb!4583 (merged)). For the implementation with DD4Hep it also needs Detector!637 (closed) (we decided not to wait for this and work on DD4Hep on the next release)
• !619 (merged) - fix ft cross talk
• !645 (merged) and !668 (merged)- Steer MUON low energy and flat spillover background parametrisation from Boole properties
• !663 (merged) - introduce 2024 and Run3 Python configuration
• !672 (merged) - Update Muon Digitization monitoring plots (for LHCbPR tests)
• !676 (merged) - Fix crashing Muon code in Boole dd4hep tests
• !684 (merged) - Update Boole references for lhcb-master x86_64_v3-el9-gcc13+detdesc-opt+g

• Detector!625 (merged) - Add assert statements to test (in debug mode) if the VPChannelID is accesses while uninitialised
