add support for the new geometry format

The current code integrates a new geometry format support for the TRD system.

Context

• Following the approval of the TDR Addendum for the TRD the inner part of the TRD wall will be operated with TRD2D detectors.
  • A new geometry (construction/usage) concept for the TRD geometry was proposed:
    • CbmSoft/cbmroot_geometry!224 (merged)
    • https://indico.gsi.de/event/18599/contributions/75683/attachments/45678/64916/Trd2DGeo.pdf
  • According to the verbal understanding from https://indico.gsi.de/event/18650/ the following strategy was assumed
    • The geometry will be accepted without [running/standard] Creation macro
    • The code has to work with TRD implementation as is provided in the binary file from geometry (trd_v23b_1[e,h,m].geo.root)
    • The implementation details from !1382 (merged) will be left for after the Release in order to not destabilize the system
    • Deadline for this MR is next Release of 2023 (be it OCT23 or other name)
  • The current MR describe only the code. In order to use the TRD2D the following actions have still to be performed:
• Accept MR CbmSoft/cbmroot_geometry!224 (merged) (done by Eoin)
• Accept MR CbmSoft/cbmroot_parameter!147 (merged) (done by Eoin)
• Update the following files (geometry/setup/setup_sis100_electron.C, external/InstallGeometry.cmake, external/InstallParameter.cmake) (Built upon and test passed in !1552 (closed) )

@a.bercuci,

thanks for the changes. I will have a look at the code hopefully later today. I will also have a look at the corresponding parameter merge request.
