element Geometry placement

Issue #222 resolved
Laurie Nevay created an issue

It's not possible to apply a transform to an 'element' element. Just now the geometry must be at the correct position / rotation for where it should be in the beam line.

Also the syntax is 'geometry' for the element but 'geometryFile' for the placement.

    The user should really prepare the geometry required - ie ensure their 'geometry' or objects are in a container at a suitable position / rotation. Aside from that, an alternative strategy using a placement globally in a gap is documented.

    geometry is now geometryFile in the element class. Backwards compatibility retained.
