ENH: use static to define default blockMesh verbosity

- make handling of verbosity more consistent.

  Make all setter return the old value, remove (unused) default
  parameter as being counter-intuitive.  This makes it easier to
  restore the original values.

  For example,

     const bool oldVerbose = sampler.verbose(false);
     ...
     sampler.verbose(oldVerbose);
