01c758b79a Function1: Rationalized construction to support the simpler sub-dictionary format
e.g.
    ramp
    {
        type     quadratic;
        start    200;
        duration 1.6;
    }

but the old format is supported for backward compatibility:

    ramp linear;
    rampCoeffs
    {
        start    200;
        duration 1.6;
    }

78a396430b Rationalized the keyword to specify a file name in a dictionary to 'file'
e.g. in tutorials/heatTransfer/buoyantSimpleFoam/externalCoupledCavity/0/T

    hot
    {
        type            externalCoupledTemperature;
        commsDir        "${FOAM_CASE}/comms";
        file            "data";
        initByExternal  yes;
        log             true;
        value           uniform 307.75; // 34.6 degC
    }

Previously both 'file' and 'fileName' were used inconsistently in different
classes and given that there is no confusion or ambiguity introduced by using
the simpler 'file' rather than 'fileName' this change simplifies the use and
maintenance of OpenFOAM.

0b4643922a Rename DataEntry -> Function1
Function1 is an abstract base-class of run-time selectable unary
functions which may be composed of other Function1's allowing the user
to specify complex functions of a single scalar variable, e.g. time.
The implementations need not be a simple or continuous functions;
interpolated tables and polynomials are also supported.  In fact form of
mapping between a single scalar input and a single primitive type output
is supportable.

The primary application of Function1 is in time-varying boundary
conditions, it also used for other functions of time, e.g. injected mass
is spray simulations but is not limited to functions of time.
