Instead of using a template specialization for every mapped type, use the mapped type registry to automatize the type mapping at compile time. In order to make new shapes known to the IO system, an ID and the type need to be added to the frontend io definitions header. The id enum and type will then be automatically mapped to the id a detector type is using (unknown_type if the type is not included in the given detector).
Also fixes the shape and frame concepts to include 3-dimensional shapes
