interFoam: Added support for phase-change with cavitation models

The phase-change functionality in interPhaseChangeFoam has been generalised and
moved into the run-time selectable twoPhaseChange library included into
interFoam providing optional phase-change.  The three cavitation models provided
in interPhaseChangeFoam are now included in the twoPhaseChange library and the
two interPhaseChangeFoam cavitation tutorials updated for interFoam.

interPhaseChangeFoam has been replaced by a user redirection script which prints
the following message:

The interPhaseChangeFoam solver has solver has been replaced by the more general
interFoam solver, which now supports phase-change using the new twoPhaseChange
models library.

To run with with phase-change create a constant/phaseChangeProperties dictionary
containing the phase-change model specification, e.g.

    phaseChangeModel SchnerrSauer;

    pSat            2300;   // Saturation pressure

See the following cases for an example converted from interPhaseChangeFoam:
