pimpleFoam: Merged dynamic mesh functionality of pimpleDyMFoam into pimpleFoam

and replaced pimpleDyMFoam with a script which reports this change.

The pimpleDyMFoam tutorials have been moved into the pimpleFoam directory.

This change is the first of a set of developments to merge dynamic mesh
functionality into the standard solvers to improve consistency, usability,
flexibility and maintainability of these solvers.
