- patchFields now get mapped (instead of created)
- with -consistent it now maps all patches except for processor ones (they are
the only ones that are processor-local)
- all constraint patches get evaluated after mapping to bring them up to date.

Description
Constrain the field values within a specified region.
For example to set the turbulence properties within a porous region:
\verbatim
porosityTurbulence
{
type scalarFixedValueConstraint;
active yes;
scalarFixedValueConstraintCoeffs
{
selectionMode cellZone;
cellZone porosity;
fieldValues
{
k 30.7;
epsilon 1.5;
}
}
}
\endverbatim
See tutorials/compressible/rhoSimpleFoam/angledDuctExplicitFixedCoeff
constant/fvOptions for an example of this fvOption in action.
The modes of operation are set by the dimensions of the pressure field
to which this boundary condition is applied, the \c psi entry and the value
of \c gamma:
\table
Mode | dimensions | psi | gamma
incompressible subsonic | p/rho | |
compressible subsonic | p | none |
compressible transonic | p | psi | 1
compressible supersonic | p | psi | > 1
\endtable
For most applications the totalPressure boundary condition now only
requires p0 to be specified e.g.
outlet
{
type totalPressure;
p0 uniform 1e5;
}
updateCoeffs(const scalarField&) -> updateWeightedCoeffs(const scalarField&)
to avoid confusion with other specialized forms of updateCoeffs.

To re-use existing 'sampleDict' files simply add the following entries:
type sets;
libs ("libsampling.so");
and run
postProcess -func sampleDict
It is probably better to also rename 'sampleDict' -> 'sample' and then run
postProcess -func sampleDict
Replaced the 'postProcess' argument to the 'write' and 'execute'
functions with the single static member 'postProcess' in the
functionObject base-class.
The use of the term 'source' in the context of post-processing is
confusing and does not properly describe the process of region
selection. The new names 'surfaceRegion' and 'volRegion' better
describe the purpose of the functionObjects which is to provide field
processing functionality limited to a specified region of space, either
a surface or volume.
The keyword 'source' is renamed 'regionType' which better describes the
purpose which is to specify the method by which the surface or volume
region is selected.
The keyword to select the name of the surface or volume region is
renamed from 'sourceName' to 'name' consistent with the other
name-changes above.
In parallel the sets are reconstructed. e.g.
mpirun -np 6 checkMesh -parallel -allGeometry -allTopology -writeSets vtk
will create a postProcessing/ folder with the vtk files of the
(reconstructed) faceSets and cellSets.
Also improved analysis of disconnected regions now also checks for point
connectivity with is useful for detecting if AMI regions have duplicate
points.
