Mark Olesen 2a98c4e665 ENH: consistency improvements for surface patch handling (fixes #483)
- remove (unused) Istream constructors, prune some unused methods,
  rationalize write() vs writeDict().
  Deprecate inconsistent construction order.

- handle empty names for ".ftr" surface patches (for plain triSurface
  format) with double-quoted strings for more reliable streaming.
  Written on a single line.

  This is _backward_ compatible, but if users have been parsing these
  files manually, they will need to adjust their code.

Previously:
```
  (
  frt-fairing:001%1
  empty

  windshield:002%2
  empty
  ...
  )
```

Updated (with example handling of empty name):
```
  (
  frt-fairing:001%1 empty

  windshield:002%2 ""
  ...
  )
```

Contents:

surfaceAdd
- adds to surface files. (but does not intersect or anything)

surfaceBooleanOp
- Boolean operations (add, or, xor) on closed surfaces. Probably not working.

surfaceCheck
- checks surface for incorrect topology. Checks normals of neighbouring faces.

surfaceCoarsen
- Stan Melax coarsening algorithm

surfaceConvert
- Converts surfaces to/from various formats

surfaceMeshExtract
- Extracts mesh patches (or faceSets) and writes as a single surface.
- foamToSurface duplicates this

surfaceFind
- Finds nearest vertex and face to given point.

surfacePointMerge
- Explicit point merge of surface.

surfaceSetOutside
- Orient normals on (closed) surface.

surfaceSmooth
- Laplacian smoothing on surface vertices

surfaceSubset
- Subsets surface

surfaceToPatch
- Applies region information of surfaces to mesh.
  Each external face of mesh gets region number of nearest surface triangle.

surfaceMeshConvert
- Similar to surfaceConvert, but uses surfMesh library
