Adds the superconducting magnet/cryostat geometry to the MI3 detector simulation in the ALICE3 upgrade path, based on GEANT4 standalone studies by Ian Perez ICN-UNAM).

Changes to Detectors/Upgrades/ALICE3/MID/simulation/src/Detector.cxx:

  • New materials added: Iron (pure Fe), WindingPack (NbTi+Cu+Al composite, Arnaud report v0.2, density 2.96 g/cm³), Vacuum
  • Seven-layer cryostat geometry implemented: inner wall, vacuum gap, winding pack, MLI, support cylinder, vacuum gap, outer wall
  • Magnet positioned in cave volume, verified with zero geometry overlaps

Verified with o2-sim --detectorList ALICE3: geometry increases from 7238 to 7246 volumes, 0 illegal overlaps detected.

Dear @joseesquivel-hub ,
Please don't modify the MUON/MID code, and commit your code under the ALICE3 repository only.
I am not approving this PR.
