- primarily relevant for finite-area meshes, in which case they can be
considered to be an additional, detailed diagnositic that is
normally not needed (clutters the file system).
Writing can be enabled with the `-write-edges` option.
- enable 'faceZones' support.
- enable 'writeFile' support to better control file output.
- rename 'PatchPostProcessing' as 'ParticlePostProcessing' for better clarity.
- fix#1808
- enable 'faceZone' support.
- introduce 'cloudFunctionObjectTools' to simplify collection of particle info
on patches or face zones.
- enable 'writeFile' support to better control file output.
- rename 'PatchParticleHistogram' as 'ParticleHistogram' for better clarity.
- extend the loadOrCreateMesh functionality to work in conjunction
with file handlers. This allows selective loading of the mesh parts
without the ugly workaround of writing zero-sized meshes to disk and
then reading them back.

- fatten the interface to continue allowing write control with a bool
or with a dedicated file handler. This may slim down in the future.

- use local function for the decision making, whether worldComm or a
dedicated communicator is needed (and which sibling ranks are
involved)

- accept plain lists (space or comma separated) as well as the
traditional OpenFOAM lists. This simplifies argument handling
with job scripts.
For example,
simpleFoam -ioRanks 0,4,8 ...
vs
simpleFoam -ioRanks '(0 4 8)' ...
It is also possible to select the IO ranks on a per-host basis:
simpleFoam -ioRanks host ...
- expose rank/subrank handling as static fileOperation methods
- previously checked on destruction, but it is robuster to check for a
locally defined communicator during construction
- add InfoProxy output for fileOperation
ENH: add fileOperation::storeComm()
- transfers management of the communicator from external to internal.
Use with caution
- for special cases it can simplify sharing of processor communication
patterns, but no visible change for most code.
- make fileHandler communicator modifiable (mutable), for special
cases. The changes from 9711b7f1b9 now make this safer to do.
Continue to support legacy global function using an autoPtr:
autoPtr<fileOperation> Foam::fileHandler(autoPtr<fileOperation>&&);
However, new code using refPtr uses the following static method since
swapping out file handlers is an infrequent operation that should
also stand out a bit more.
fileOperation::fileHandler(...);
- consolidate file synchronization checks in dynamicCode
STYLE: report missing library on master only (not every rank)
- avoid flooding the output with messages

- avoid explicit isFile() check in favour of a lazy-read.
With redistributePar + fileHandler, for example, it is possible that
the master processor finds file but not the subprocs
ENH: lazy reading of tetBasePtIs
- delay reading until needed
