ENH: add some standard templates and macros into stdFoam.H

- some functionality similar to what the standary library <iterator>
  provides.

  * stdFoam::begin() and stdFoam::end() do type deduction,
    which means that many cases it is possible to manage these types
    of changes.

    For example, when managing a number of indices:
       Map<labelHashSet> lookup;

    1) Longhand:

        for
        (
            Map<labelHashSet>::const_iterator iter = lookup.begin();
            iter != lookup.end();
            ++iter
        )
        { .... }

    1b) The same, but wrapped via a macro:

        forAllConstIter(Map<labelHashSet>, lookup, iter)
        { .... }

    2) Using stdFoam begin/end templates directly

        for
        (
            auto iter = stdFoam::begin(lookup);
            iter != stdFoam::end(lookup);
            ++iter
        )
        { .... }

    2b) The same, but wrapped via a macro:

        forAllConstIters(lookup, iter)
        { .... }

Note that in many cases it is possible to simply use a range-based for.
Eg,
     labelList myList;

     for (auto val : myList)
     { ... }

     for (const auto& val : myList)
     { ... }

These however will not work with any of the OpenFOAM hash-tables,
since the standard C++ concept of an iterator would return a key,value
pair when deferencing the *iter.

The deduction methods also exhibits some slightly odd behaviour with
some PtrLists (needs some more investigation).
