Reduced v2 Geometry Implementation #1483

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Given that we will potentially have a test run in 2025 summer, we should create the expected reduced detector within ldmx-sw to simulate with.

Describe the solution you'd like This is an update to the first version of the reduced geometry where now, the absorber widths have been changed. For the six layers, the absorber widths are:

v1: [0, 0, 1, 2, 2, 3] v2: [2, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4]

Describe alternatives you've considered We considered moving the layers further back in the ECal, but realized we'd lose sensitivity to wide-angle particles which is important for WAB studies. We are still looking into optimizing absorber widths.
