Add warning if TGeo materialScan hits TGeoTessellated volumes.
The DDRec MaterialManager and hence the corresponding MaterialScan use TGeo tracking through volumes.
Tracking in TGeo is not implemented for tessellated shapes as they result from CAD shapes. Though TGeo tracking is used
in the material scanner.... In TGeo tessellated surfaces behave like their bounding box. Hence they have no real shape
and for this reason you only see a "box".
TGeo tracking for tessellated shapes will only be implemented once TGeo moves to VecGeom. This will still take some time.
See github issue #1322 for details about the discussion.
