Epic port of Chroma from units of meters/seconds/MeV to
millimeters/nanoseconds/MeV in order to match GEANT4, and also avoid huge discrepancies in magnitude caused by values like 10e-9 sec. Along the way, cleaned up a few things: * Switch the PI and SPEED_OF_LIGHT constants from double to single precision. This avoid some unnecessary double precision calculations in the GPU code. * Fixed a silly problem in the definition of the spherical spiral. Now the demo detector looks totally awesome. Also wrapped it in a black surface. Demo detector now has 10055 PMTs. * Updated the test_ray_intersection data file to reflect the new units. * Fix a missing import in chroma.gpu.tools
