Briefly, what does this PR introduce? Please link to any relevant presentations or discussions.

Half a year ago, pixel dimensions of ETOF and BTOF sensors are reduced to unrealistic sizes to compensate for the reduction in position resolution due to lack of charge sharing algorithm: #883

Now, TOF group believes that charge sharing algorithm is mature to an acceptable state. Therefore, we will enable charge sharing in another pull request in EICrecon, and at the same time we will return pixel dimensions to their realistic size.

I have updated the sensor and pixel size to match what the TDR states.
