- shoot rays to nearest point on surface and two perpendicular rays
  (instead of always shooting in the 3 coordinate directions)

- avoid bleeding through the surface intersection

1. multi-ray shooting. It now shoots rays in all the 3 coordinate directions
from the cell centre. Before it would shoot just a single ray from the
nearest point on the surface, going through the cell centre.

There is a cost overhead in that now it shoots 6 rays (+-x, +-y, +-z)
instead of just 1.

2. bleeding of refinement. It marks the cells inside a gap and walks out
the gap-size to neighbouring cells (which are just outside the gap). This
should make for a smoother refinement pattern.

Merge branch 'feature-snappyHexMesh' of develop.openfoam.com:Development/OpenFOAM-dev-OpenCFD into feature-snappyHexMesh

The start of the layer addition loop does a synchronisation of the wanted
displacement. This also does a truncation of the displacement if it is <
minThickness. At the first iteration the displacement was initialised to
vector::one which might trigger the truncation logic (and then disable
extrusion altogether). Instead we now initialise the displacement to
vector::GREAT before entering the synchronisation.
