Briefly, what does this PR introduce?
In the loop that writes the covariance matrix for the track parameters to the edm4eic output, the indices were not being incremented.
This lead to this output:
With the fix applied here, the correct covariance matrix is written out:
This can be needed when propagating the track in an analysis script (e.g. https://github.com/eic/snippets/tree/main/Tracking/ImpactPointEstimator).
