A generic Birks calculation should be added for materials that are not Liquid argon. The implementation exists, but it requires setting the ionization properties for a material. I don't know how to do that via GDML. This needs advice on how to attach new material properties to materials defined in GDML.

This is now implemented using the G4EmSaturation() method using the Birks' constant from G4IonisPropertyMat(). There are difficulties setting this value from GDML, so the /edep/material/birksConstant macro has been added as a supplement.
