Create a Properties class based on the Gaudi PropertyWithValue implementation

[Nick Draper]

Create a Properties class based on the Gaudi PropertyWithValue implementation Look at GAUDI ​http://proj-gaudi.web.cern.ch/proj-gaudi/releases/v19r3/doxygen/class_property_with_value.html

The property class should include the following methos (many more may be taken from GAUDI)

• string name; the property name
• <T> operator=(),to return the value (we should support int double and string as a minimum)
• <T> operator= ( const TYPE & value ) to set the value
• bool isDefault(); if the value held has been set by the default value of the class
• bool isValid(); true if the property has a valid value.

Thinking again we need to consider a none temaplated way of doing this so that these can be accessed from Python.

(In [304]) First version of property classes (based on Gaudi). Re #54.

[Russell Taylor]

(In [305]) Renamed Property.h header file in Geometry because it clashes with new Property header in Kernel. As far as I can tell it's not used at the moment. Re #54.

[Russell Taylor]

(In [307]) Completed the tests on PropertyWithValue, plus small modifications in class itself. Re #54.

[Russell Taylor]

(In [322]) Added a property collection. Re #54.

[Russell Taylor]

(In [332]) Algorithms now use the PropertyManager class. Re #54.

[Russell Taylor]

(In [334]) Help the tests run on Windows. Re #54.

[Russell Taylor]

(In [347]) Improved efficiency of PropertyManager. Re #54.
