RICH : Updating default values of gas pressure and temperature

Sajan Easorequested to merge
Rich-Run3-Gas-PT-update-Feb13-2025 into master

This MR enables to update and use the default values of gas pressure and temperature in RICH1 and RICH2. The values are listed in the file RichRun3PropertySpecParam.xml. The new values are same as those used as default in the lhcb-conditions-database in the sim10/run3-ideal branch.
In processing real data, these values are set as the default and any variations of these are monitored in the online. These default values facilitate to run the software chain Gauss-Boole-Moore. The details of this can be found the recent discussion in #73

At present a copy of this file exists in ../Materials/trunk and in ../Materials/2024-v00.00 areas. However, only the values in the file in ../Materials/trunk area are updated in this MR.

A copy of this file also existed in the ../Rich/xxxx/Rich1/DetElem areas, but their usage seems to be commented out, since a few months ago. Hence the copies in this file in these Rich areas are removed as part of cleanup.

Example of RICH resolution plots obtained after running Gauss-Boole-Moore with this update from the trunk area, are attached to this MR for reference.
