ATLASSIM-3150: Enable use of static Geant4 in Athena using "BigLibrary" pattern to improve simulation performance

Remove redundant `regHandle` calls and some minor code cleanup.

Remove unused (and thread-unsafe) BFieldSolenoid::m_cache.

Root has problems with loading dictionaries if multiple threads are running.
Force load some dictionaries we'll need during initialization.
See ATEAM-749.

Load the magnetic field map during `start()` for online/HLT running.
This was already configured correctly in the new-style config fragment
but not in the old version.

This fixes the problem of `AtlasFieldMapCondAlg` running once per slot in
the HLT.

Fixing thresholds for currents to not read in maps for online, and returning zero b-field if no map is read

Turn off UseMapsFromCOOL if UseDCS is off.
Fixes test failures in MuonConfig and TrigL2MuonSA.

since DCS has time-stamp IOV, for IOV when DCS currents say that solenoid or toroid is off, use just the current run number

updating map alg to handle job opt setting of currents for online running when reading the file names from cool, and for offline added check of DCS currents to all reading only sol or tor file. Removing logic in cache to set currents to 0 for online as is not done directly for maps.

When running with currents set from job options, use the run number as
IOV to make sure it is being re-initialized during stop/start. Also
cleanup some printouts and remove finalize() methods that only print an
INFO message.

Relates to ATLASRECTS-5604.

no longer running updateCurrentxx if LockMapCurrents is true, and added a bit cleared printout for current sfs

Test field status changes (ON/OFF) when DCS currents go from nominal to
zero and vice versa.

added LoadMapOnStart for AtlasFieldMapCondAlg for online running, and fixed the setting of UseSoleCurrent, UseToroCurrent for AtlasFieldCacheCondAlg so that they effectively turn off the field if set to 0

Don't declare a dependency on the DCS conditions folder if we're
not going to use it.

Magnetic field Elements use std::array when can make syntax easier, use ATh_RESTRICT where seems OK to do so

added the option to set the solenoid or toroid current value for the map via the tagInfo object. This allows to do specialized simulation, and assure that the digit/reco chain uses the same current values

remove excess stop in map cond alg, and as well extra debug printout in digi test which had been used for debugging

migrated MdtCalibrationTool to use mag field from cache, and added support to checkMetaSG to dump out field info in pool file
