Geant4 support

SolidStateDetectors.jl now provides an extension for Geant4.jl.

The Geant4 extension provides code to conveniently create GDML files from an SSD config file or Simulation and to create a Geant4.G4JLApplication.
This allows to simulate realistic event distributions resulting from particles emitted by a given source, which can be used as input to the waveform simulation.
Find a tutorial on how to use the Geant4 extension here.
