CONTRIB: New adjoint optimisation and tools

A set of libraries and executables creating a workflow for performing
gradient-based optimisation loops. The main executable (adjointOptimisationFoam)
solves the flow (primal) equations, followed by the adjoint equations and,
eventually, the computation of sensitivity derivatives.

Current functionality supports the solution of the adjoint equations for
incompressible turbulent flows, including the adjoint to the Spalart-Allmaras
turbulence model and the adjoint to the nutUSpaldingWallFunction, [1], [2].

Sensitivity derivatives are computed with respect to the normal displacement of
boundary wall nodes/faces (the so-called sensitivity maps) following the
Enhanced Surface Integrals (E-SI) formulation, [3].

The software was developed by PCOpt/NTUA and FOSS GP, with contributions from

Dr. Evangelos Papoutsis-Kiachagias,
Konstantinos Gkaragounis,
Professor Kyriakos Giannakoglou,

and contributions in earlier version from
