flowRateInletVelocity: Added option to extrapolate the velocity profile to the inlet

Browse Source 
e.g.

    inlet
    {
        type                flowRateInletVelocity;
        massFlowRate        0.2;
        extrapolateProfile  yes;
        rho                 rho;
        rhoInlet            1.0;
        value               uniform (0 0 0);
    }

Note
- \c rhoInlet is required for the case of a mass flow rate, where the
density field is not available at start-up
- the value is positive into the domain (as an inlet)
- may not work correctly for transonic inlets
- strange behaviour with potentialFoam since the U equation is not solved
