Work-package-09 geometric constraint

The geometric decomposition constraint (issue #921 (closed)) may be used to restrict the mesh decomposition on a geometrical basis. For example, to avoid splitting of a sensitive feature across processor boundaries. The geometry constraints are described by topoSet face sources, which can include basic geometrically entities (sphere, box, cylinder), mesh entities (eg, faces associated with a cellSet) or an arbitrary closed surface (stl, obj, etc). The support for arbitrary closed surfaces uses a triSurfaceMesh topoSetFaceSource.

Functionality tests confirmed as per EP#724. For the integration in current code, the selection mechanism was generalized to use topoSetFaceSource for the descriptions. This improves the flexibility, reduces memory overhead, and supports the use of searchableSurface as part of the topoSetFaceSource framework.
