[civanch]

PR description:

GeometryProducer is used in order to prepare Geant4 geometry for use in backward propagation. The code is updated in order to take into account possible use of DDD and potentially DD4Hep. This addresses #31920 .

Also CMSSteppingVerbosity is improved, code-check warnings in Notification sub-library are fixed.

These modifications do not affect any WF used in validation.
