Will Bainbridge 557c472f07 setDeltaT: Reinstate effect of deltaT setting in controlDict
The time step adjustment now starts from the minimum of the deltaT
calculated from Courant condition (and other physical limits), and the
deltaT specified in the system/controlDict.

This means that a small deltaT setting in system/controlDict results in
a gradual increase up to the Courant number limited value. This can be
useful in maintaining stability at the start of a simulation.

This functionality is an accidental side-effect at best. It is being
reinstated as existing cases are reliant upon it. If additional control
of the time step in the initial stages of a simulation is needed, then
that should be achieved with a more explicit user control.
