Draft: Clean up DetectorFactory and add new functionality

Nicholas Styles requested to merge nstyles/athena:master-DetFactoryCleanup into master

Non-ITk systems using GeoModelXml for their Detector Description are currently using classes from InDetDetDescr/InDetGeoModelUtils. This MR moves these classes to a more suitable and generic location.

In future, a common GeoModelXmlDetectorFactorBase will also be added there (inheriting from DetectorFactoryBase) to allow duplication of common code among the various GMX-based DetectorFactory classes to be avoided, and add some new useful functionality like dumping of clobs to a local file.
