ENH: improved sample surfaces and surface writers (#1206)

- The writers have changed from being a generic state-less set of
  routines to more properly conforming to the normal notion of a writer.
  These changes allow us to combine output fields (eg, in a single
  VTK/vtp file for each timestep).

  Parallel data reduction and any associated bookkeeping is now part
  of the surface writers.
  This improves their re-usability and avoids unnecessary
  and premature data reduction at the sampling stage.

  It is now possible to have different output formats on a per-surface
  basis.

- A new feature of the surface sampling is the ability to "store" the
  sampled surfaces and fields onto a registry for reuse by other
  function objects.

  Additionally, the "store" can be triggered at the execution phase
  as well

-Class
-    Foam::boundaryDataSurfaceWriter
-
-Description
-    A surfaceWriter for outputting to a form useable for the
-    timeVaryingMapped boundary condition. This reads the data from
-    constant/boundaryData/\<patch\> directory
-
-    Typical way of working:
-    - use a sampledSurface of type 'patch' (to sample a patch):
-    \verbatim
-    surfaces
-    {
-        type            surfaces;
-        surfaceFormat   boundaryData;
-        fields          ( p );
-        surfaces
-        (
-            outlet
-            {
-                type            patch;
-                patches         (outlet);
-                interpolate     false;
-            }
-        );
-    }
-    \endverbatim
-
-    - write using this writer.
-    - move postProcessing/surfaces/outlet to constant/boundaryData/outlet
-      in your destination case.
-    - use a timeVaryingMappedFixedValue condition to read and interpolate
-      the profile:
-        type            timeVaryingMappedFixedValue;
-        setAverage      false;  // do not use read average
-        offset          0;      // do not apply offset to values
-
-    Note:
-    - with 'interpolate false' the data is on the face centres of the
-      patch. Take care that a 2D geometry will only have a single row
-      of face centres so might not provide a valid triangulation
-      (this is what timeVaryingMappedFixedValue uses to do interpolation)
-      (Alternatively use timeVaryingMappedFixedValue with mapMethod 'nearest')
-
-    \heading Output file locations
-
-    The \c rootdir normally corresponds to something like
-    \c postProcessing/\<name\>
-
-    where the geometry is written as:
-    \verbatim
-    rootdir
-    `-- surfaceName
-        `-- "points"
-    \endverbatim
-
-    and field data:
-    \verbatim
-    rootdir
-    `-- surfaceName
-        |-- "points"
-        `-- timeName
-            `-- field
-    \endverbatim

-Class
-    Foam::starcdSurfaceWriter
-
-Description
-    A surfaceWriter for STARCD files.
-
-    The geometry is written via the MeshedSurfaceProxy, the fields
-    are written in a trivial ASCII format with ID and VALUE as
-    so-called user data. These \c .usr files can be read into proSTAR
-    with these types of commands. For element data:
-     \verbatim
-        getuser FILENAME.usr cell scalar free
-        getuser FILENAME.usr cell vector free
-    \endverbatim
-    and for vertex data:
-    \verbatim
-        getuser FILENAME.usr vertex scalar free
-        getuser FILENAME.usr vertex vector free
-    \endverbatim
-
-    \heading Output file locations
-
-    The \c rootdir normally corresponds to something like
-    \c postProcessing/\<name\>
-
-    \subheading Geometry
-    \verbatim
-    rootdir
-    `-- timeName
-        `-- surfaceName.{cel,vrt,inp}
-    \endverbatim
-
-    \subheading Fields
-    \verbatim
-    rootdir
-    `-- timeName
-        |-- <field0>_surfaceName.{usr}
-        `-- <field1>_surfaceName.{usr}
-    \endverbatim

-Class
-    Foam::vtkSurfaceWriter
-
-Description
-    A surfaceWriter for VTK legacy format.
-
-    The formatOptions for vtk:
-    \table
-        Property    | Description                           | Required | Default
-        format      | [FUTURE] ascii or binary format       | no  | ascii
-        legacy      | [FUTURE] Legacy VTK output            | no  | true
-        precision   | Write precision in ascii         | no | same as IOstream
-    \endtable
-
-    For example,
-    \verbatim
-    formatOptions
-    {
-        vtk
-        {
-            precision  10;
-        }
-    }
-    \endverbatim
-
-    \heading Output file locations
-
-    The \c rootdir normally corresponds to something like
-    \c postProcessing/\<name\>
-
-    \subheading Geometry
-    \verbatim
-    rootdir
-    `-- timeName
-        `-- surfaceName.{vtk}
-    \endverbatim
-
-    \subheading Fields
-    \verbatim
-    rootdir
-    `-- timeName
-        `-- <field>_surfaceName.{vtk}
-    \endverbatim
-
-Note
-    Uses ASCII-only output.
-    All data are written as \c double due to portability issues
-    (paraview on window).

+Class
+    Foam::surfaceWriters::boundaryDataWriter
+
+Description
+    A surfaceWriter for outputting to a form useable for the
+    timeVaryingMapped boundary condition. This reads the data from
+    constant/boundaryData/\<patch\> directory
+
+    Typical way of working:
+    - use a sampledSurface of type 'patch' (to sample a patch):
+    \verbatim
+    surfaces
+    {
+        type            surfaces;
+        surfaceFormat   boundaryData;
+        fields          ( p );
+        surfaces
+        (
+            outlet
+            {
+                type            patch;
+                patches         (outlet);
+                interpolate     false;
+            }
+        );
+    }
+    \endverbatim
+
+    - write using this writer.
+    - move postProcessing/surfaces/outlet to constant/boundaryData/outlet
+      in your destination case.
+    - use a timeVaryingMappedFixedValue condition to read and interpolate
+      the profile:
+        type            timeVaryingMappedFixedValue;
+        setAverage      false;  // do not use read average
+        offset          0;      // do not apply offset to values
+
+    Note:
+    - with 'interpolate false' the data is on the face centres of the
+      patch. Take care that a 2D geometry will only have a single row
+      of face centres so might not provide a valid triangulation
+      (this is what timeVaryingMappedFixedValue uses to do interpolation)
+      (Alternatively use timeVaryingMappedFixedValue with mapMethod 'nearest')
+
+    \heading Output file locations
+
+    The \c rootdir normally corresponds to something like
+    \c postProcessing/\<name\>
+
+    where the geometry is written as:
+    \verbatim
+    rootdir
+    `-- surfaceName
+        `-- "points"
+    \endverbatim
+
+    and field data:
+    \verbatim
+    rootdir
+    `-- surfaceName
+        |-- "points"
+        `-- timeName
+            `-- field
+    \endverbatim

+Class
+    Foam::surfaceWriters::rawWriter
+
+Description
+    A surfaceWriter for raw output.
+
+    The formatOptions for raw:
+    \table
+        Property     | Description                          | Required | Default
+        compression  | on / off                             | no    | off
+    \endtable
+
+    For example,
+    \verbatim
+    formatOptions
+    {
+        raw
+        {
+            compression on;
+        }
+    }
+    \endverbatim
+
+    \heading Output file locations
+
+    The \c rootdir normally corresponds to something like
+    \c postProcessing/\<name\>
+
+    \subheading Geometry
+    \verbatim
+    rootdir
+    `-- timeName
+        `-- surfaceName.{raw}
+    \endverbatim
+
+    \subheading Fields
+    \verbatim
+    rootdir
+    `-- timeName
+        |-- <field0>_surfaceName.{raw}
+        `-- <field1>_surfaceName.{raw}

+
+Description
+    A surfaceWriter for STARCD files.
+
+    The geometry is written via the MeshedSurfaceProxy, the fields
+    are written in a trivial ASCII format with ID and VALUE as
+    so-called user data. These \c .usr files can be read into proSTAR
+    with these types of commands. For element data:
+     \verbatim
+        getuser FILENAME.usr cell scalar free
+        getuser FILENAME.usr cell vector free
+    \endverbatim
+    and for vertex data:
+    \verbatim
+        getuser FILENAME.usr vertex scalar free
+        getuser FILENAME.usr vertex vector free
+    \endverbatim
+
+    \heading Output file locations
+
+    The \c rootdir normally corresponds to something like
+    \c postProcessing/\<name\>
+
+    \subheading Geometry
+    \verbatim
+    rootdir

+Class
+    Foam::surfaceWriter
+
+Description
+    Base class for surface writers.
+
+    The surfaceWriter interface is rather large since we need a writer that
+    can either be initially defined without a surface association
+    and have that added at a later stage, or be defined with a surface
+    association.

+Class
+    Foam::surfaceWriters::vtkWriter
+
+Description
+    A surfaceWriter for VTK legacy (.vtk) or XML (.vtp) format.
+
+    The formatOptions for vtk:
+    \table
+        Property    | Description                           | Required | Default
+        format      | ascii or binary format                | no  | binary
+        legacy      | Legacy VTK output                     | no  | false
+        precision   | Write precision in ascii         | no | same as IOstream
+    \endtable
+
+    For example,
+    \verbatim
+    formatOptions
+    {
+        vtk
+        {
+            format      binary;
+            legacy      false;
+            precision   10;
+        }
+    }
+    \endverbatim
+
+    \heading Output file locations
+
+    The \c rootdir normally corresponds to something like
+    \c postProcessing/\<name\>
+
+    \subheading Geometry and Fields
+    \verbatim
+    rootdir
+    `-- timeName
+        `-- surfaceName.{vtk,vtp}
+    \endverbatim
