/// \brief The manger class for building magnetic or other field
/// using the configuration in field parameters.
///
/// Purpose: Provide a single 'place' to configure field & integration
///
/// - It can configure a global field, and field(s) local to a (logical) volume
/// - The parameter values can be configured by the user (else use a default)
/// - They can be set/changed via a messenger provided or in the code
///      of the user detector construciton
/// - It retains ownership of the following object(s):
///      field parameters and field setups, field
///
///  Note MT: an object of the builder class should be created on master only
///      (in DetectorConstruction constructor)
///      The functions SetGlobal/LocalField and ConstructFieldSetup should
///      be called on workers (in DetectorConstruction::ConstructSDandField )
///
///  This design/implementation covers the most common use cases.
///  It cannot be used to create some complex setups such as
///    - equations templated on the field type,
///    - steppers/drivers templated on the equation and field types.
///
