Provides an environment for easy set up of a Geometry-aware test. Keep in mind that, as much as I could push on flexibility, the channel mapping algorithm must be hard-coded and, if using Boost unit test, the configuration file location must be hard coded too (or you can use the provided configuration).

For an example of usage, see larcore/test/Geometry/geometry_iterator_test.cxx

The standard TesterEnvironment<> class can't handle geo::GeometryCore. The reason is twofold: for once, ExptGeoHelperInterface service is not factorized, so we need to choose explicitly the ChannelMapAlg implementation (here this is obtained by a template argument). Another is that GeometryCore both is required and requires ChannelMapAlg to have a complete initialisation. There are ways to overcome the issue at the cost of added complication.

Currently provides:

• BasicGeometryEnvironmentConfiguration: a test environment configuration
• GeometryTesterEnvironment: a prepacked geometry-aware test environment
