[ALICE 3] FT3 fix magnetic field silently disabled when FT3 is active (#15828)

* ALICE3/FT3: fix magnetic field silently disabled when FT3 is active

FT3Module::initialize_materials() registered its six support materials
via raw `new TGeoMedium(name, id, mat), bypassing o2::base::MaterialManager.
That 3-argument TGeoMedium constructor leaves all tracking parameters,
including ifield, at 0, and since these ids were never coordinated with
MaterialManager's auto-assigned global ids, they collided with other
detectors' media -notably the CAVE air medium that fills the gaps between
TRK's barrel layers.

Route these six materials/media through MaterialManager instead.

* Clean up comments on material registration process

Removed commented-out code regarding material registration and its implications.

* Please consider the following formatting changes

* Update FT3Module.cxx
