rigidBodyDynamics/rigidBodySolvers: Added run-time selectable solvers to integrate the rigid-body motion

Currently supported solvers: symplectic, Newmark, CrankNicolson

The symplectic solver should only be used if iteration over the forces
and body-motion is not required.  Newmark and CrankNicolson both require
iteration to provide 2nd-order behavior.

See applications/test/rigidBodyDynamics/spring for an example of the
application of the Newmark solver.

+
+Description
+    Six degree of freedom motion for a rigid body.
+
+    Angular momentum stored in body fixed reference frame.  Reference
+    orientation of the body (where Q = I) must align with the cartesian axes
+    such that the Inertia tensor is in principle component form.  Can add
+    restraints (e.g. a spring) and constraints (e.g. motion may only be on a
+    plane).
+
+    The time-integrator for the motion is run-time selectable with options for
+    symplectic (explicit), Crank-Nicolson and Newmark schemes.

+
+Description
+    Crank-Nicolson 2nd-order time-integrator for 6DoF solid-body motion.
+
+    The off-centering coefficients for acceleration (velocity integration) and
+    velocity (position/orientation integration) may be specified but default
+    values of 0.5 for each are used if they are not specified.  With the default
+    off-centering this scheme is equivalent to the Newmark scheme with default
+    coefficients.
+
+    Example specification in dynamicMeshDict:
+    \verbatim
+    solver
+    {
+        type    CrankNicolson;
+        aoc     0.5;    // Acceleration off-centering coefficient
+        voc     0.5;    // Velocity off-centering coefficient
+    }
+    \endverbatim

+Class
+    Foam::RBD::rigidBodySolvers::symplectic
+
+Description
+    Symplectic 2nd-order explicit time-integrator for rigid-body motion.
+
+    Reference:
+    \verbatim
+        Dullweber, A., Leimkuhler, B., & McLachlan, R. (1997).
+        Symplectic splitting methods for rigid body molecular dynamics.
+        The Journal of chemical physics, 107(15), 5840-5851.
+    \endverbatim
+
+    Can only be used for explicit integration of the motion of the body,
+    i.e. may only be called once per time-step, no outer-correctors may be
+    applied.  For implicit integration with outer-correctors choose either
+    CrankNicolson or Newmark schemes.
+
+    Example specification in dynamicMeshDict:
+    \verbatim
+    solver
+    {
+        type    symplectic;
+    }
+    \endverbatim
+
