DimensionedField<vector, volMesh> -> volVectorField::Internal

GeometricField: Renamed internalField() -> primitiveField() and dimensionedInternalField() -> internalField()

These new names are more consistent and logical because:

primitiveField():
primitiveFieldRef():
    Provides low-level access to the Field<Type> (primitive field)
    without dimension or mesh-consistency checking.  This should only be
    used in the low-level functions where dimensional consistency is
    ensured by careful programming and computational efficiency is
    paramount.

internalField():
internalFieldRef():
    Provides access to the DimensionedField<Type, GeoMesh> of values on
    the internal mesh-type for which the GeometricField is defined and
    supports dimension and checking and mesh-consistency checking.

Non-const access to the internal field now obtained from a specifically
named access function consistent with the new names for non-canst access
to the boundary field boundaryFieldRef() and dimensioned internal field
dimensionedInternalFieldRef().

When the GeometricBoundaryField template class was originally written it
was a separate class in the Foam namespace rather than a sub-class of
GeometricField as it is now.  Without loss of clarity and simplifying
code which access the boundary field of GeometricFields it is better
that GeometricBoundaryField be renamed Boundary for consistency with the
new naming convention for the type of the dimensioned internal field:
Internal, see commit a25a449c

This is a very simple text substitution change which can be applied to
any code which compiles with the OpenFOAM-dev libraries.

Avoids the clutter and maintenance effort associated with providing the
function signature string.

Also changed internalDegreesOfFreedom to be an integer type
