Bugfix:  Input/Output for GeoUnidentifiedShape is fixed.

This version adds proper persistification of GeoGenericTrap and GeoTorus under the new DB schema, and suppresses some extraneous output.

This release introduces a modification to the database schema:  floating point data is now stored with a floating point (rather than ASCII) representation in the database.

Important note!  all databases created prior to this tag (version 6.0) will be unreadable!

* Restructure the classes to allow the introduction of Virtual Geometry (aka Tracking Surfaces)
* Allow for mutable materials in GeoLogVol.  Useful for gases and other stuff which can be piped in.

* Typo fix in the deduplication of full physical volumes
* Introduce `cloneVolume()` helper function
* Augment the early testing capability against Athena
* Disable by default deduplication mechanisms
* Deduplication steering flags moved into the processor registries
* Disabled cloning in resize of GeoATLAS by default
* `gmcat`: don't fail if the local GeoModelData git repository is not accessible

```

Changes w.r.t. 5.1

- Bug fixes when GeoPhysVols with Full physical volumes as children are deduplicated
- Add functionallity to the GeoDeDuplicator to switch off deduplication of Shapes, LogVols, GeoTransforms
- Disable deduplication by default
- Augment early testing in Athena  to test simulation & MC simulation in the CI
- Memory leak fix in GeoElement
- Introduce clone helper function to GeoHelpers.

* GeoModelFunctionSnippets renamed to GeoModelHelpers.
* De-duplication code is in place, which can be used to share Shapes and Physical Volumes automatically.
* The material manager code is simplified and put in one place.
* Several cosmetic changes in the gmcat utility

* GeoModelFunctionSnippets renamed to GeoModelHelpers.
* De-duplication code is in place, which can be used to share Shapes and Physical Volumes automatically.
* The material manager code is simplified and put in one place.

* Fix move semantics avoiding leakage of reference counts once the absolute position of a volume is requested.

* Remove explicit from default constructor
* Add possiblitiy to construct IntrusivePtrs from Child classes.

Patched `GeoIntrusivePtr` by adding template specification of the comparison operator. This was necessary for fixing C++ 20 compiler warnings

This release  introduces the IntrusivePtr, which automatically increases/decreases  the reference count of pointed-to objects with pointer construction/destruction. 

Other changes:  default transform for Alignable transforms are now persistified in  GeoModelWrite, rather that aligned positions. 
Convenience functions for input/output are added.

The main changes affect GeoModelKernel and GeoModelIO:

* For the GeoVGeometryPlugins, the interface was changed.  Now written to the GeoVPhysVol interface, allowing either full or ordinary phy vols to be created from a plugin.
* Bug fix in GeoModelWrite (all phys vols stored and phys vols) and greater generality in GeoModelRead (either fullphysvols or physvols are resolved at the top of the geometry tree)
* Update GeoModelExamples, GeoModelTools, and GeoModelVisualization to new interfaces

just a dummy tag to test the CI

New functionality to reliable compute the mass of all volumes, including complicated ones like Boolean volumes.

This tag is for the "CHEP" release, which aims to fix little problems with fullSimLight/FSL ahead of the CHEP conference May 8-12 in Norfolk Va.

* Configuration of HEPMC3 & Pythia in make is rationalized.
* Pythia/HEPMC3 options grayed out if not available.
* Crash of fsl on Ventura platforms fixed.
* Unphysical values of materials in KitchenSinkPlugin corrected
* New functionality in GeoModelXML

From 4.4.2:

* Introduce mechanism in GeoModelXML to pass readout geometry tables through to sqlite
* Also, create a FullPhysVol table and an AlignableTransform table in GeoModelXML, pass through to sqlite
* Fix a bug in GeoModelWrite leading to spurious (Full)PhysVols upon restore.
* Inhibit vectorization where it is unsafe (Scott's fix)

From 4.4.3:
* fix a compilation problem with FSL on somewhat older distributions of Qt.
