Briefly, what does this PR introduce?

Update MPGD envelopes to match Sept. CAD model: https://indico.bnl.gov/event/29963/

What kind of change does this PR introduce?

  • Bug fix (issue #__)
  • New feature (issue #__)
  • Documentation update
  • Other: Envelope update

Please check if this PR fulfills the following:

  • Tests for the changes have been added
  • Documentation has been added / updated
  • Changes have been communicated to collaborators

Does this PR introduce breaking changes? What changes might users need to make to their code?

No breaking changes. MPGD hit locations will be altered and a new material map will need to be generated.

Does this PR change default behavior?

There will be changes in the hit locations of the MPGDs, most notably the MPGD disks as they had changes made to their outer radii and were moved closer to the IP.

This could overlap with the silicon disk, check TrackerEndcapPDisk4_zmin

But it passed the overlap checks in CI.

@ShujieL, I ran checkOverlaps script with tolerance set to -t 0.001 in the tracking_only configuration and the only overlaps I saw were from other sub detectors (non-mpgd) overlapping with themselves or beampipe.

Wow, that fit nicely in there. How should we proceed in updating the geometry to match the Sep. CAD model? Should we have this PR serve as the Tracking geometry update PR, so silicon and ToF can include their respective changes in this PR and then merge when the tracking system update is completed?
