feat: make Geant4 surface mapper configurable (#3157)

This PR breaks the direct dependency of `ActsExamples::Geant4Simulation` from `TrackingGeometry` and allows to set a customised SensitiveSurface mapper.

The current SensitiveSurface mapper would fail for e.g. ITK geometry because the center comparison would probably not be valid. Also, it allows to test with Gen2 geometry, which will be needed (for the moment) for the `traccc` input simulation.
