Update mkFit to support additional tracking iterations and other technical developments

[mmasciov]

PR description:

This PR follows #33802 and #34198, and updates mkFit to support multiple tracking iterations. An option is added to switch pattern recognition to MkFit for pixelPairStep. Modifiers for each of iteration are added to allow switching any set of them to be switched to MkFit.

In addition this PR includes:

• option to use SiStrip quality DB information;
• switch of mkFit state conversion to use curvilinear covariance;
• other technical optimizations.

It requires cms-sw/cmsdist#7113 and cms-data/RecoTracker-MkFit#2

All developments have been already presented at Tracking POG (https://indico.cern.ch/event/1045001/#2-mkfit-status-report).
