This PR simplifies Young's modulus output in the Dam GiD interface by providing a single option: Young's modulus (nodal field).

The output now uses the historical nodal variable YOUNG_MODULUS for both GiD and VTK, while retaining the original NODAL_YOUNG_MODULUS XML identifier for backward compatibility with existing GiD projects.

The result represents the actual nodal Young's modulus field, typically initialized by spatially varying material processes. When Young's modulus is defined only through constant material Properties, the historical nodal field is not automatically populated and will normally appear as zero. This behavior is now clearly explained in the interface help text.
