3d5fb08693 ENH: provide separate geometry description per region/patch (issue #278)
- Also fixed bug noted in issue #269

- Previous implementation had all faces together, which made
  it difficult (impossible) for external applications to
  figure out which geometry was being referred to.

- Provide separate region/patches as follows:

    // Patch: <regionName> <patchName>

  For example,

    // Group: coupleGroup
    // Patch: heater minY
    8( ... )

  The region-name is always present, even if there is only one region.

- This change is a partial reversion to the behaviour in 2.4.x, except
  that we can now also handle multi-region geometries.

  Changing the leading comment from "# " to "// " facilitates parsing
  of the files with OpenFOAM itself if necessary.

8e2b13386b ENH: enable 'status=done' when finishing an externalCoupled FO
- This provides a mechanism for the external code to detect when
  OpenFOAM is done.

- Adjust tutorial to use the mechanism. Also test in parallel.

8d5800c5f8 ENH: externalCoupled: changed to non-OutputFilter functionObject.
- moved control to functionObject (from bc)
- this allows multi-region support
- see heatTransfer/chtMultiRegionFoam/externalCoupledMultiRegionHeater tut
- generalisation of streamed reading/writing of specialised bcs

6838df9cd2 ENH: Multiple updates to function objects
Updated objects
- corrected Peclet number for compressible cases
- propagated log flag and resultName across objects

New function objects
- new fluxSummary:
  - calculates positive, negative, absolute and net flux across face
    zones
- new runTimeControl
  - abort the calculation when a user-defined metric is achieved.
    Available options include:
    - average value remains unchanged wrt a given threshold
    - equation initial residual exceeds a threshold - useful to abort
      diverging cases
    - equation max iterations exceeds a threshold - useful to abort
      diverging cases
    - min/max of a function object value
    - min time step exceeds a threshold - useful to abort diverging
      cases
- new valueAverage:
  - average singular values from other function objects, e.g. Cd, Cl and
    Cm from the forceCoeffs function object
