ENH: make "done" the default termination for externalCoupled

Browse Source 
- simply removing the lock file on termination provides insufficient
  information for the external application to know if it should take
  over again or if OpenFOAM has terminated. Instead the "status=done"
  content is now used by default.

an external application. The coupling is through plain text files

These text files are located in a user specified communications directory
which gets read/written on the master processor only. In the
communications directory the structure will be
\verbatim
<regionsName>/<patchGroup>/<fieldName>.[in|out]
\endverbatim
(where regionsName is either the name of a single region or a composite
of multiple region names)
At start-up, the boundary creates a lock file, i.e..
\verbatim
OpenFOAM.lock
\endverbatim
... to signal the external source to wait. During the functionObject
execution the boundary values are written to files (one per region,
per patch(group), per field), e.g.
\verbatim
<regionsName>/<patchGroup>/<fieldName>.out
\endverbatim
The lock file is then removed, instructing the external source to take
control of the program execution. When ready, the external program
should create the return values, e.g. to files
\verbatim
<regionsName>/<patchGroup>/<fieldName>.in
\endverbatim
... and then re-instate the lock file. The functionObject will then
... and then reinstate the lock file. The functionObject will then
read these values, apply them to the boundary conditions and pass
program execution back to OpenFOAM.
