- reduced clutter when iterating over containers

- delay dereferencing of optional subRegion entries until an
  objectRegistry is required.

  This improves usabilty when reference objects do not yet exist
  at the time of construction.

- complete any pending initialisation on write().
  Allows lazier evaluation until when surfaces are actually available.

  Allows lazier evaluation until when the surfaces are actually needed.

- includes initial relocation of low-level vtu handling.
  Extracted, refactored from the Catalyst function object.

- previously it was only possible to reset a pointer, but not to
  change a const-reference directly (needed a swap() to do this).

- currently supports pTotal, rhoU.

- makes it easier to implement functionObject or field object removal

- use registry checkOut for removeRegisteredObject function object

The occurrence is from cells with vertices that are shared between two faces
only (these vertices can originate from hex refinement). Decomposing both faces
can occasionally produce triangles with identical vertices and this results in a
non-manifold edge which triggers the erosion procedure.

Avoided by detecting cells with these special vertices and making sure the tet-decomposition
never uses the same points on the faces using them.

- move declaration of emptyLabelList (now deprecated) out of List.H

- can now safely use labelList::null() instead of emptyLabelList for
  return values. No special treatment required for lists.

  Possible replacements:

      if (notNull(list) && list.size())  ->  if (list.size())
      if (isNull(list) || list.empty())  ->  if (list.empty())

  The receiver may still wish to handle differently to distinguish
  between a null list and an empty list, but no additional special
  protection is required when obtaining sizes, traversing, outputting
  etc.

- relocate zone IO from Detail::MeshedSurfaceIOAllocator into surfMesh
  directly to allow re-purposing of MeshedSurfaceIOAllocator

- provide meshedSurf::emptySurface zero-sized placeholder implementation

- add concrete implementation of meshedSurf::zoneIds() to simplify
  overloading

- previously had a single pointer/value zeros (8 bytes), this meant
  that the reinterpret cast to a List would yield a reference that
  could be unsafe under certain conditions.

  Eg,
     const labelList& myList = labelList::null();

     Info<< myList.size() << nl; // OK since size is the first parameter

     SubList<label>(myList, 0);  // Unsafe

  The SubList usage is unsafe since it passes in pointer and size into
  the underlying UList. However, the pointer from the labelList::null()
  will be whatever happens to be around in memory immediately after the
  NullObject singleton. This is mostly not a problem if the List size
  is always checked, but does mean that the data pointer is rather
  dubious.

- Increase the size of the nullObject singleton to 32 bytes of zeros
  to ensure that most reinterpret casting will not result in objects
  that reference arbitrary memory.

  The 32-byte data size is rather arbitrary, but covers most basic
  containers.
