blockMesh: most mesh data are now demand-driven

- Unless the points(), cells(), patches() methods are called, the classes
  should know maintain a lightweight representation for as long as possible.

- bugfix: old-code used xferMove() instead of xferCopy() when creating the
  topology mesh - causing const pointField& to break if the code order was
  changed

- relocate blockMesh from src/meshing -> src/mesh
