Make TV Sensor Layout more robust (to pitch / rmin changes)

Remove the pixel layout controls, and use a silicon X,Y size control which sets the N pixels dependent on the PixelSize set.

Idea is to set "PicoPix" sensors with:

<!-- Pixel size -->
<constant name = "TV:PixelSize"         value = "0.05*mm"/>

<constant name = "TV:ChipSizeX"         value = "12.8*mm"/>
<constant name = "TV:ChipSizeY"         value = "12.8*mm"/>

and "IGNITE" with:

<!-- Pixel size -->
<constant name = "TV:PixelSize"         value = "0.045*mm"/>

<constant name = "TV:ChipSizeX"         value = "14.4*mm"/>
<constant name = "TV:ChipSizeY"         value = "14.4*mm"/>

Other changes:

  • updates to the support substrate to ensure "correct" shape as inner radius changes. No changes for baseline r_{min}=7.2mm.
  • edits to the corner position of different sensors To ensure the slight overlap of sensors is retained as you change design/inner radius. The only change to x/X_0 (0.005%, see here) in MR is from this, fixing
    • TV:ClosestShortPixelColumn = r_{min} + 2*0.055\mum
    • TV:ClosestNLOPixelColumn = r_{min} - 20*0.055\mum
    • TV:ClosestCLIPixelColumn = r_{min} + 5*0.055\mum
