This changes the media of volumes that sit outside the field map, diagnosed with the geometry doctor. 17 volumes were built from media that declare a magnetic field, whereas the field there is always zero. This is now fixed by switching five media in place, and by giving a field-free variant to the three volumes whose medium is shared with volumes that do reach the field.

The new copper medium also needs its own line in simcuts_COMP.dat, because Geant4 assigns cuts per material and it would otherwise take the default ones.
