ENH: surface: various updates to the surface utilities
surfaceBooleanFeatures: use CGAL for intersection
surfaceCheck: write surface zoning as vtk file
surfaceInflate: new utility to offset surface
surfacePatch: replacement for surfaceAutoPatch. Also does cutting of surfaces.
See merge request !4
Feature parallel
All low-level parallel bits:
- support for surfaceFields
- low-level distributed Field mapping
- complete rewrite of redistributePar
See merge request !6
- shm: have displacementMotionSolver as alternative mesh shrinker
(instead of medialAxis).
- updated iglooWithFridges tutorial to use displacementLaplacian
- selectable interpolation from cells to points in the motion solvers
using the 'interpolation' keyword:
interpolation volPointInterpolation; // default
or
interpolation patchCorrected (lowerWall upperWall);
- wrapped up mesh shrinkers (see above) for use as a displacementMotionSolver
(i.e. the opposite of the displacementMotionSolver mesh shrinker)

Feature function objects
Lots of updates migrated from internal development line
### Updated functionObjectFile
Old code maintained a list of file pointers, and provided a clunky interface to output to file. Although OK for function objects that only created a single file, those that created multiple files were required to refer to each by an index and making it very easy to introduce errors.
The new code simplifies the functionObjectFile class so that it provides helper functions to create and write to files, and no longer maintains a list of file pointers. Instead, each function object must create and take responsibility for all of the file streams that it requires.
Changes propagated across dependencies:
* fieldValues
* forces/forceCoeffs
* yPlus
* fieldMinMax
* residuals
* regionSizeDistribution
* fieldMinMax
* cloudInfo
### Created new functionObjectState
Previously, if function objects required to store data on disk to enable smooth restarts, e.g. fieldAverage, the object would need to provide the mechanism for reading/writing state information itself. This class abstracts out the reading/writing of state information in a straightforward manner, whereby an object can retrieve its own data, or retrieve e.g. the latest available data from another object (e.g. see fieldValueDelta).
* fieldAverage
* fieldMinMax
* forces
* forceCoeffs
### Created new runTimePostProcessing function object
New function object to generate images at run-time, or in 'post-processing' mode via the execFlowFunctionObjects utility
* Constant DataEntry - added construct from components
* Set and surface writers updated to enable retrieval of filename of generated output
* Additional changes to surface writers from internal line:
+ Ensight collate times option
+ Nastran output updated based on user feedback
+ new boundaryData output

New lift model supporting near-wall damping using the new
wallDampingModels.
e.g.
lift
(
(air in water)
{
type wallDamped;
lift
{
type constantCoefficient;
Cl 0.5;
}
wallDamping
{
type linear;
Cd 0.5;
}
}
);
in which a linear near-wall damping function min(y/(Cd*d), 1) is applied to the constant
coefficient lift model. Additional wall-damping functions will be added.
to allow iteration over the energy equations to improve stability for phase-change.
Additionally if nEnergyCorrectors is set to 0 the energy equations are
not solved which may be beneficial during the startup of some cases.
