    ENH: fixedMeanOutletInletFvPatchField: New outlet/inlet boundary condition which fixes the outlet mean
    
    Description
        This boundary condition extrapolates field to the patch using the near-cell
        values and adjusts the distribution to match the specified, optionally
        time-varying, mean value.  This extrapolated field is applied as a
        fixedValue for outflow faces but zeroGradient is applied to inflow faces.
    
        This boundary condition can be applied to pressure when inletOutlet is
        applied to the velocity so that a zeroGradient condition is applied to the
        pressure at inflow faces where the velocity is specified to avoid an
        unphysical over-specification of the set of boundary conditions.
    
    Usage
        \table
            Property     | Description             | Required    | Default value
            meanValue    | mean value Function1    | yes         |
            phi          | Flux field name         | no          | phi
        \endtable
    
        Example of the boundary condition specification:
        \verbatim
        <patchName>
        {
            type            fixedMeanOutletInlet;
            meanValue       1.0;
        }
        \endverbatim
