    totalPressureFvPatchScalarField, uniformTotalPressureFvPatchScalarField: simplified and rationalized
    
        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;
        }
