feat: Free parameter estimation from seed

[andiwand]

This is a generalization of the bound version estimateTrackParamsFromSeed. From the interface one can see what information is really necessary to estimate parameters

FreeVector estimateTrackParamsFromSeed(const Vector3& sp0, const Vector3& sp1,
                                       const Vector3& sp2,
                                       const Vector3& bField);

template <typename spacepoint_iterator_t>
FreeVector estimateTrackParamsFromSeed(spacepoint_iterator_t spBegin,
                                       spacepoint_iterator_t spEnd,
                                       const Vector3& bField) {

vs

template <typename spacepoint_iterator_t>
std::optional<BoundVector> estimateTrackParamsFromSeed(
    const GeometryContext& gctx, spacepoint_iterator_t spBegin,
    spacepoint_iterator_t spEnd, const Surface& surface, const Vector3& bField,
    ActsScalar bFieldMin, const Acts::Logger& logger = getDummyLogger()) {

Originally I wanted to make use of this new version inside the bound version but I ended up doing a different error handling which is also more generic IMO.

We can unify this with the next breaking change. I would propose to drop the bound version completely and let the user deal with the global to local conversion which makes it very explicit that one needs a surface to put the parameters on. A propagator can then be used to extrapolate parameters to a different reference surface.

🪧 Tips

Chat

There are 3 ways to chat with CodeRabbit:

• Review comments: Directly reply to a review comment made by CodeRabbit. Example:
  • I pushed a fix in commit <commit_id>, please review it.
  • Generate unit testing code for this file.
  • Open a follow-up GitHub issue for this discussion.
• Files and specific lines of code (under the "Files changed" tab): Tag @coderabbitai in a new review comment at the desired location with your query. Examples:
  • @coderabbitai generate unit testing code for this file.
  • @coderabbitai modularize this function.
• PR comments: Tag @coderabbitai in a new PR comment to ask questions about the PR branch. For the best results, please provide a very specific query, as very limited context is provided in this mode. Examples:
  • @coderabbitai gather interesting stats about this repository and render them as a table. Additionally, render a pie chart showing the language distribution in the codebase.
  • @coderabbitai read src/utils.ts and generate unit testing code.
  • @coderabbitai read the files in the src/scheduler package and generate a class diagram using mermaid and a README in the markdown format.
  • @coderabbitai help me debug CodeRabbit configuration file.

Note: Be mindful of the bot's finite context window. It's strongly recommended to break down tasks such as reading entire modules into smaller chunks. For a focused discussion, use review comments to chat about specific files and their changes, instead of using the PR comments.

CodeRabbit Commands (Invoked using PR comments)

• @coderabbitai pause to pause the reviews on a PR.
• @coderabbitai resume to resume the paused reviews.
• @coderabbitai review to trigger an incremental review. This is useful when automatic reviews are disabled for the repository.
• @coderabbitai full review to do a full review from scratch and review all the files again.
• @coderabbitai summary to regenerate the summary of the PR.
• @coderabbitai resolve resolve all the CodeRabbit review comments.
• @coderabbitai configuration to show the current CodeRabbit configuration for the repository.
• @coderabbitai help to get help.

Other keywords and placeholders

• Add @coderabbitai ignore anywhere in the PR description to prevent this PR from being reviewed.
• Add @coderabbitai summary to generate the high-level summary at a specific location in the PR description.
• Add @coderabbitai anywhere in the PR title to generate the title automatically.

CodeRabbit Configuration File (.coderabbit.yaml)

• You can programmatically configure CodeRabbit by adding a .coderabbit.yaml file to the root of your repository.
• Please see the configuration documentation for more information.
• If your editor has YAML language server enabled, you can add the path at the top of this file to enable auto-completion and validation: # yaml-language-server: $schema=https://coderabbit.ai/integrations/schema.v2.json

@andiwand can you check apogee and Athena is ok with it? I'm afraid of the require statement here.
In case, we can drop it (I know I'm the one who suggested it ... )
