Unified units in simex_platform

[CFGrote]

Some SimEx classes use the python module pint to handle physical units (e.g. "meter") and constants ( e.g. the elementary charge "e"). Examples are the DetectorGeometry class, DetectorPanel class, PhotonBeamParameters, and Parameters and Calculators that make use of the former.

The goal is to update all SimEx classes to use the pint module.

As a sequel, one would then update IO to make use of the same concept.
