- adjust info about min cmake

325e3e230d ENH: improve flexibility of make scripts
- the various make scripts now also search hierarchical sources,
  which makes it easier to organize sources. The secondary
  sub-directory is the lower-case value of the package stripped of
  trailing non-alphabet characters.

  For example, searching for ParaView-v5.9.1

    sources/
    |-- adios
    |   |-- ...
    |   |-- ADIOS2-2.7.1
    |   \-- adios-1.13.1
    |-- cgal
    |   |-- CGAL-4.12.2
    |   \-- CGAL-4.14.2
    |   ...
    |-- openmpi
    |   |-- openmpi-4.0.3
    |   \-- openmpi-4.1.1
    |-- paraview
    |   |-- ParaView-v5.6.1
    |   \-- ParaView-v5.9.1
    \-- scotch
        ...

- additional out-of-source build options

  FOAM_THIRD_PARTY_BUILDROOT :
     Replace WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR as the root for build/ and platforms/

  FOAM_THIRD_PARTY_SOURCES :
     Alternative to WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR/sources/

- rationalise internal package variable names for easier maintenance

ENH: add support of additional configure options to some make scripts

- remove hard-coded --verbs from makeOPENMPI in favour of letting the
  user provide it via the command-line for makeOPENMPI.

59be96faed ENH: remove reliance on OpenFOAM etc/config.sh/functions file.
- similar functionality in etc/tools/ThirdPartyFunctions to improve
  the independence of ThirdParty while reducing clutter in the callers.

- add useGcc function for convenience
- mask seeing our own git-repo when building

STYLE: various items

- eliminate old user-editable configuration in files - now command-line only.
- use *_BUILD_DIR instead of *_BINARY_DIR for more clarity of the purpose
- drop use of '-q' option for wmakeCheckPwd (already has stderr redirect)
- drop checkVersion for makeParaView since it stopped working properly
  with newer paraview version
