Mark Olesen 5eebc75845 ENH: improved UPstream gather/scatter functionality
- added UPstream::allGatherValues() with a direct call to MPI_Allgather.
  This enables possible benefit from a variety of internal algorithms
  and simplifies the caller

    Old:
        labelList nPerProc
        (
            UPstream::listGatherValues<label>(patch_.size(), myComm)
        );
        Pstream::broadcast(nPerProc, myComm);

    New:

        const labelList nPerProc
        (
            UPstream::allGatherValues<label>(patch_.size(), myComm)
        );

- Pstream::allGatherList uses MPI_Allgather for contiguous values
  instead of the hand-rolled tree walking involved with
  gatherList/scatterList.

-
- simplified the calling parameters for mpiGather/mpiScatter.

  Since send/recv data types are identical, the send/recv count
  is also always identical. Eliminates the possibility of any
  discrepancies.

  Since this is a low-level call, it does not affect much code.
  Currently just Foam::profilingPstream and a UPstream internal.

BUG: call to MPI_Allgather had hard-coded MPI_BYTE (not the data type)

- a latent bug since it is currently only passed char data anyhow

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
