tutorials: pipeCyclic: Overhaul

The refinement cell set is now generated directly using boxToCell. The
mesh now uses cyclic, rather than cyclicAMI, patches so that propagation
of the refinement across the coupling can be tested. Field files have
been simplified by using #includeEtc to set constraints. A best practice
velocity/pressure specification has been set for the outlet boundary.
Unused fields and settings have been removed.
