    ENH: add some scalar constants for .org compatibility (#1881)
    
    Although it can very much be a moving target, it can prove partly
    useful to have some compatibility constants/methods.
    
    - The wholesale change of 'GREAT' -> 'great' etc (JAN-2018), makes
      user coding for multiple versions problematic. When
      COMPAT_OPENFOAM_ORG is defined, now define constants (aliases) named
      as per the openfoam.org version. Values, however, remain identical.
    
    - For type-safe dictionary value retrieval, we have the templated
      get<> methods added around NOV-2018 and deprecated the lookupType
      method.
    
      The .org version followed suit in NOV-2019, but opted for renaming
      the templated lookupType method as a templated 'lookup' method.
    
      Using this is discouraged, but allowed when COMPAT_OPENFOAM_ORG is
      defined.
