Mark Olesen 345a2a42f1 ENH: simplify method names for reading argList options and arguments
- use succincter method names that more closely resemble dictionary
  and HashTable method names. This improves method name consistency
  between classes and also requires less typing effort:

    args.found(optName)        vs.  args.optionFound(optName)
    args.readIfPresent(..)     vs.  args.optionReadIfPresent(..)
    ...
    args.opt<scalar>(optName)  vs.  args.optionRead<scalar>(optName)
    args.read<scalar>(index)   vs.  args.argRead<scalar>(index)

- the older method names forms have been retained for code compatibility,
  but are now deprecated

Notes for fluentMeshToFoam with zone preservation
#################################################

1. New option added:
    - writeSets:
    Writes all Fluent boundaries faceSets preserving Fluent names
    Writes all Fluent regions to cellSets preserving Fluent names
    lines: 1375 - 1393 & 1673 - 1741
    sets are useful for post-processing using foamToVTK with the "-faceSet
    <name>" and "-cellSet <name>" options.

    - writeZones:
    Writes all regions to cellZones preserving Fluent names
    Writes all region internal face to faceZones preserving Fluent names
    lines: 1545 - 1667
    Zones are usefull for porous media and MRF calculations

2. Zone Access
    - Zones are simple lists of label lists that can be accessed from polyMesh
    with the cellZones(), faceZones() and pointZones() member functions

    - Example (Members from polyMesh.H and ZoneMesh.H):
    const labelList& thisCellZone = mesh.cellZones()["thisZoneName"];

    - Zone integrity is preserved during mesh modification and decompomposition.

    - Once created via addZones, zones allow modification through non-const
    access

3. Fluent boundary types.
    - All internal and baffle elements are ignored during conversion

    - Boundary faces labelled as internal (i.e. interior, interface, internal,
    solid, fan, radiator, porous-jump) but that are in fact external boundaries
    will be added to a default wall boundary.
