Package FastSimulation/SimplifiedGeometryPropagator

Description

The goal is to prepare fastsim for the upgrade of the pixel detector. A new, configurable interface for the geometry of the fastsim tracker was developed. To this end, it was necessary to also write a new algorithm for the propagation of the particles inside the tracker. The package is created inside it's own namespace so none of the standard fastsim code is affected. This allows for easy comparison/validation of the new geometry/particle propagation.

The geometry of the detector used to be hard-coded but can now be specified in a single python file (FastSimulation/Geometry/python/TrackerMaterial_cfi.py)
