re #27319

Computes the distance to the first intersection point
on a object regardless if it is entry/exit/glancing
track.
Refs #26690

Most issues stemmed from trying to normalize a zero length V3D in the
unit tests. We now throw in a few places where an illegal vector
operation is tried out.

Re #24898

Implemented random point generation within cuboids, spheres and
cylinders. The method always finds a point in these shapes unlike the
generic one and is sometimes faster (depends on how the bounding box is
filled). This should make MonteCarloAbsorption more robust.

I also considered doing likewise in CSGObject,
but found this would be complicated by the use of
shapes returned by ComponentCtreationHeliper.
I did make use of auto to make such a change easier.
