Mark Olesen 560c053bc8 ENH: support independent specification of surface read/write format (#1600)
- adjustments to internal handling to improve run-time addition of
  other formats (eg, with additional user library)

  For example, to write a binary STL with a '.stl' extension:

    $ surfaceMeshConvert input.obj  -write-format stlb  output.stl

  Or in a sampler,
  to specify the input type without ambiguity:

  surf
  {
      type        meshedSurface;
      surface     sampling.inp;

      fileType    starcd;
      scale       0.001;
      ...
  }

STYLE: regularize naming for input/output scaling

  * -read-scale   (compat: -scaleIn)
  * -write-scale  (compat: -scaleOut)

CONFIG: change edge/surface selection name for STARCD format

- now select as "starcd" instead of "inp" to avoid naming ambiguity

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
