createNonConformalCouples: Support patchType overrides

Field settings can now be specified within
createNonConformalCouplesDict. This allows for patchType overrides; for
example to create a jump condition over the coupling.

An alternate syntax has been added to facilitate this. If patch fields
do not need overriding then the old syntax can be used where patches
that are to be coupled are specified as a pair of names; e.g.:

    fields      yes;

    nonConformalCouples
    {
        fan
        {
            patches         (fan0 fan1);
            transform       none;
        }
    }

If patch fields do need overriding, then instead of the "patches" entry,
separate "owner" and "neighbour" sub-dictionaries should be used. These
can both contain a "patchFields" section detailing the boundary
conditions that apply to the newly created patches:

    fields      yes;

    nonConformalCouples
    {
        fan
        {
            owner
            {
                patch       fan0;

                patchFields
                {
                    p
                    {
                        type        fanPressureJump;
                        patchType   nonConformalCyclic;
                        jump        uniform 0;
                        value       uniform 0;
                        jumpTable   polynomial 1((100 0));
                    }
                }
            }

            neighbour
            {
                patch       fan1;

                patchFields
                {
                    $../../owner/patchFields;
                }
            }

            transform       none;
        }
    }

In this example, only the pressure boundary condition is overridden on
the newly created non-conformal cyclic. All other fields will have the
basic constraint type (i.e., nonConformalCyclic) applied.
