Mark Olesen b060378dca ENH: improve consistency of fileName handling windows/non-windows (#2057)
- wrap command-line retrieval of fileName with an implicit validate.

  Instead of this:
      fileName input(args[1]);
      fileName other(args["someopt"]);

  Now use this:
      auto input = args.get<fileName>(1);
      auto other = args.get<fileName>("someopt");

  which adds a fileName::validate on the inputs

  Because of how it is implemented, it will automatically also apply
  to argList getOrDefault<fileName>, readIfPresent<fileName> etc.

- adjust fileName::validate and clean to handle backslash conversion.
  This makes it easier to ensure that path names arising from MS-Windows
  are consistently handled internally.

- dictionarySearch: now check for initial '/' directly instead of
  relying on fileName isAbsolute(), which now does more things

BREAKING: remove fileName::clean() const method

- relying on const/non-const to control the behaviour (inplace change
  or return a copy) is too fragile and the const version was
  almost never used.

  Replace:
      fileName sanitized = constPath.clean();

  With:
      fileName sanitized(constPath);
      sanitized.clean());

STYLE: test empty() instead of comparing with fileName::null

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 useful 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.
