BUG: faMesh geometryOrder=1 blocks in parallel

- with geometryOrder=1, edge normal calculation is done directly from
  the faces, whereas geometryOrder=2 they are calculated based on the
  point normals of each end.

  In both cases, the geometry calculation uses processor communication
  (with corresponding waitRequests etc).

  Since the final correction and the halo face normals also need
  collective communication, these routines must be triggered on all
  processors or they will block. Thus also include edgeAreaNormals()
  triggering in addition to pointAreaNormals() triggering.
