21.9: Add new flag to allow GDML to be dumped for Inner Detector systems

Nicholas Styles requested to merge nstyles/athena:21.9-dumpGDMLFlag into 21.9

GeoDetectorTools have the capability to dump GDML representations of the G4 geometry they build, which is useful for integration with ACTS, for example, but is not currently easy to configure at the top-level.

These changes introduce a new flag to InDetGeometryFlags which allows this to be simply toggled on and off in a preExec, producing a separate GDML output file for any Inner Detector GeoDetectorTools which are configured.
