Charge interpretation for track parameters

Detailed Description

Track parameters store a single coefficient that describes charge and momentum.

This is either charge/momentum or 1/momentum, but the interpretation depends on what type of particle is described. In this code base this coefficient is always referred to as qOverP (or charge-over-momentum) even for uncharged particles. The following types are used to restrict the particle charge magnitude (at compile time) and support the umambigous extraction of charge and absolute momentum from said track parameter coefficient.

All types are designed to be interchangeable. Each one can be constructed with the input charge magnitude

Charge c(1_e);

and can then be used to extract the charge value

auto q = c.extractCharge(qOverP);

or the absolute momentum

auto p = c.extractMomentum(qOverP);

from the charge-over-momentum track parameter.
