Henry Weller 095054d82e applications/solvers/combustion: Moved the inertSpecie functionality into basicSpecieMixture
and renamed defaultSpecie as its mass fraction is derived from the sum of the
mass fractions of all other species and it need not be inert but must be present
everywhere, e.g. N2 in air/fuel combustion which can be involved in the
production of NOx.

The previous name inertSpecie in thermophysicalProperties is supported for
backward compatibility.

Stiff chemistry solver validation test cases

gri    : GRI-Mech 3.0. CH4 combustion, 53 species, 325 reactions
h2     : H2 combustion, 10 species, 27 reactions
nc7h16 : n-Heptane combustion, 544 species, 2446 reactions
ic8h18 : iso-Octane combustion, 874 species, 3796 reactions

Results interpreted in 'validation' sub-directory, where OpenFOAM results
are compared against those predicted by CHEMKIN II.

Overall the best performing ODE solver is seulex followed closely by rodas23.
