epsilonWallFunction: Updated to work with both low- and high-Reynolds number turbulence models 

This boundary condition provides a turbulence dissipation wall constraint
for low- and high-Reynolds number turbulence models.

The condition can be applied to wall boundaries for which it
- calculates \c epsilon and \c G
- specifies the near-wall epsilon value

where

\vartable
    epsilon | turblence dissipation field
    G       | turblence generation field
\endvartable

The model switches between laminar and turbulent functions based on the
laminar-to-turbulent y+ value derived from kappa and E.

Recent tests have shown that this formulation is more accurate than
the standard high-Reynolds number form for 10 < y+ < 30 with both
standard and continuous wall-functions.

Replaces epsilonLowReWallFunction and should be used for all
low-Reynolds number models for which the epsilonLowReWallFunction BC was
recommended.

Description
This boundary condition provides a turbulence dissipation wall function
condition for low- and high-Reynolds number turbulent flow cases.
The condition can be applied to wall boundaries, whereby it inserts near
wall epsilon values directly into the epsilon equation to act as a
constraint.
The model operates in two modes, based on the computed laminar-to-turbulent
switch-over y+ value derived from kappa and E.
Usage
\table
Property | Description | Required | Default value
Cmu | model coefficient | no | 0.09
kappa | Von Karman constant | no | 0.41
E | model coefficient | no | 9.8
\endtable
Example of the boundary condition specification:
\verbatim
<patchName>
{
type epsilonLowReWallFunction;
}
\endverbatim
