Replace all plain pointers with smart pointers

We should replace all plain pointers with smart pointers, either from std or from boost.

Some random notes

  • Each class T for which a shared pointer std::shared_ptr<T> is used should feature a typedef std::shared_ptr<T> SP. This reduces the amount of code we have to write.
  • Cyclic references have to be avoided using weak pointers.

ToDos

  • ElementBase * -> std::shared_ptr<ElementBase>
  • return type of Object::clone
  • (almost) all occurrences of the keyword new
  • replace (occurrences of) Pointer class
  • replace pointers in Classic/Fields with smart pointers (#744 (closed))
  • replace plain pointers in Classic/AbsBeamline with smart pointers (#746)
