Does this PR introduce breaking changes? What changes might users need to make to their code?

No changes to user code needed, but users need to be careful to select the correct geometry when running dd4hep AND EICrecon. (https://chat.epic-eic.org/main/pl/rptqecge1jyctkkwa1454zy1mw)

I will hopefully address this issue in a PR immediately following this one.

Does this PR change default behavior?

Yes, the low-pT acceptances at the Roman pots will be much closer to reality now, and will vary with beam energy, as they should.
