Improved photoelectric model

Mihaly Novak requested to merge mnovak/improvedPEmodel into master

The pre-step point mean free path (mfp) of the selected discrete physics process is now propagated down to the model in the primary LightTrack. The target atom sampling method of the photoelectric model has been changed:

  • it makes use of this MFP value: this is the normalisation factor in the discrete sampling
  • with this the method becomes state-less and more effitient
  • the recently introduced (merge #318) thread local container is not needed anymore: has been removed

The simulation results should be numerically identical with the previous versions.
